I've had a little bit of a break over Christmas and New Year and decided that it was time for me to take a few weeks off recording a podcast. I wanted to review things that were filtering through the pipeline, like the renter's rights bill. I also wanted to take stock of other people's views and opinions about the outlook for 2025 and consider what some of those impacts are going to be for this year. So while many people might have released their predictions and property thoughts for 2025 on the 1st of January, I'm a month late. I hope that you will find that this podcast will give you some thoughtful reflection on what has been an interesting January. First of all, I'd like to say a massive thank you to those of you who listen to this podcast and write to me when I haven't done an episode and say "Wendy, when's the next episode coming out?" Thank you ever so much. You keep me accountable, keep me on my toes. And I hope that this podcast helps you as you invest in HMOs. I'd also like to thank everybody who participates in the community and who's investing in HMOs and gives me lots of food for thought, content, ideas, and subjects to tackle. I'm looking forward to 2025. I think it's going to be a very interesting year. What I mean by that is it's going to be one where we're going to have to use our intelligence to navigate the market. Today's podcast is very much about using our intelligence, crunching some of the numbers and thinking more deeply about some of the statistics you might have already heard since the first of January. There are a couple of people I want to give a quick shout out to who produce excellent material and whose views and opinions I value highly. One of them is Daniel Hill. He has the entrepreneurs podcast. He is very much about looking at business and growing your property portfolio as a business. I listen to a podcast of his a while ago and I thought it was excellent and I would agree with a lot of his conclusions. I'll put the link in the notes so you can jump over and listen to his podcast if you wish to. The other person I'd like to mention is Adam Lawrence from Partners in Property. His property predictions or update on the market - he does a monthly newsletter for Partners in Property. That was released today and I've been mulling over some of those statistics that he's released. Again, I'll put the link in the show notes so you can go over to that and read his notes on the general wider housing market. Today, I want to focus on my chosen topic, which is HMOs and predictions for 2025. I'm really delighted that today you have the honor of listening, not just to me, but also to my husband, my partner in crime, Andy Large. The reason I've invited him on is because Andy's got a really deep knowledge and interest in macroeconomics. At home we have plenty of discussions about this topic. As we're running an HMO business and a property business, we're always very interested in looking at how these links work back and forth because housing is a massive part of our national economy. It's a huge part of our international economy and understanding the macro picture is very important when you're trying to make decisions about the micro picture, which is how you use your money to invest and make it grow, and hopefully also provide good quality accommodation for individuals. Discussion Topics: EIER Framework Energy Wendy: Let's start with energy. What are your thoughts about what's happening in the energy world and market? And how's that going to affect us in HMOs? Andy: It could affect folk differently because we have to recognize that there are different models for HMOs. Not every HMO is an energy inclusive model. Some have tenants that actually pay their own bills with individual room billing, particularly for electric sometimes for gas, mostly for electric. I think most professional HMOs at least are an all-inclusive model. Would you say that's right? Wendy: Definitely. I think that particularly for the professional market, which is where we specialize, we offer that all-inclusive rent because I think it's really valuable for the tenant. There are so many benefits to it for the tenant. It's much easier for them just to move in and have one all-inclusive fee that they pay. It's rent, utilities, council tax, water, etc. It all goes into one part and makes it much easier for them to move in and move out and be more flexible. As well as the actual energy costs of running an HMO, the other things on the horizon which I think are part of this wider industry that affect HMOs are regulation when it comes to energy - the EPC regulation, but also the wider costs of energy and the costs of moving to net zero. This is becoming much more prevalent. We are no longer just simply accepting that we should be moving to net zero as a fait accompli, but there are voices which are now counterindicating that. As we've heard from President Trump across the pond, he stated that he is not going to support net zero and he's withdrawn the United States from the Paris climate accord and he's going to "drill baby drill." What does this wider energy industry direction of travel mean for us in HMOs? Andy: My view on net zero is that it's a totally suicidal mission. Even if we achieve net zero, what would it do? When asked that question, the reply is "Well, we'll be showing the world how to do net zero." And my view is they'll be laughing at us, particularly in China as they've made billions probably trillions out of manufacturing solar panels and we'll have no energy independence. The pertinent point for HMOs and rental properties is the EPC piece. That's where the rubber hits the road. My personal view is that this is going to be very hard now for Labor to inflict on the population of the UK. The idea was that by 2030, every rental property needs to achieve EPC C, which is unachievable anyway. There are millions of properties, at least hundreds of thousands that would never be able to meet that energy requirement because of the method of construction, their proximity to other properties, etc. I think it's an even bigger political problem for Labor now because of the appalling performance in the opinion polls and the rise of Reform who are strongly opposed to net zero. Even if Labor were to introduce a bill or ministerial instrument that said you've got to achieve that target by 2030, that requires consensus across the House of Commons, because there will be another election before 2030. They are doing a consultation about it at the moment as a live consultation. That's often what you do about what you're about to go wobbly on ideas. There's no certainty. There might very well be a law that comes in that says you have to do EPC C, and then a landlord is going to have to make a decision - are they going to do it? This is one of the dangers of any of these types of legislation. It's like the car industry having to prepare for getting rid of all ICE vehicles, only to be told, "Oh, actually, you can make some ICE vehicles." It's like a big liner crossing the ocean - it's not very easy to change direction of travel halfway through a strategic plan. Inflation Wendy: Linked to energy, of course, is inflation, and this is clearly a topic which is very important when you're investing in property, partly because we talk about real assets hedging against inflation, hedging against effectively the decrease in the value of your pound. What is going on with inflation right now? The headline statistics are that as of the end of 2024, it was 2.5% annualized, which doesn't sound too bad. But what do you feel is going on with inflation? Andy: You mean CPI inflation, which if you listen to the government inflation figure, that's really like asking a child to mark their own homework. I don't really believe that number. I think it is quite a bit higher than that because it doesn't include housing costs, which is a massive part of most people's monthly budget. Even then, there are things in the mix that make your head spin. I was listening to shows about housing costs priced in gold, which is the only Tier one reserve asset that has no counterpart. And priced against gold, all these things have indeed been in deflation. Housing prices are in a deflationary cycle right now. This is one of the problems with the fiat currency we have. It is very hard to make really solid predictions when fiat is such a fungible thing. But I think CPI is about to possibly go negative. I think rent levels are probably going to ease off for a variety of reasons, mostly to do with employment and the recession. Wendy: I'd like to challenge you on that one. Inflation is a compounding problem. We're talking about two percent or two and half percent in 2024 on top of four and a half percent in 2023 on top of seven percent in 2022. It doesn't include house prices, which is why when you're doing a refurb these days, you can add another 30% on the cost on what you were doing three or four years ago because it's all that compounded inflationary effect on goods services, materials, etc. I would argue that there is a possibility that although CPI inflation remains relatively low and the Bank of England have got a target to keep it at two percent, the wider inflationary picture - I believe there is a possibility that we're going to actually see effects of inflation coming through much more strongly and that could affect interest rates. Many people are suggesting the interest rates are going to start to come down this year. It would be great if they did, but I wonder actually whether interest rates could actually go up. Employment Wendy: What's going on with employment and unemployment? Andy: I think it's quite simple. Rachel Reeves has created rather a hostile environment for employing lots of people and we're going to wait and see how heavily that weighs on our economy. The chances are it could be quite bad. Wendy: I personally feel having spoken to a lot of people in the last couple of weeks about rooms and whether they're renting out and how long they're taking to rent out, there is a little bit of flat lining. The pace of filling rooms is not what it was a couple of months ago, although sometimes that is the time of the year. We have a slow month sometimes. People are still getting over Christmas. They're paying off their credit card bill. They haven't got any money to move. The 23rd of January is apparently the day when most people apply for new jobs. It's a commonly known date. So I think by the time we get to February March time, things will pick up again. People are more available for viewing and you've got more hours of daylight to do the viewings. Regulation One of the areas of HMO that we've seen grow a lot over the last few years is social care, social housing HMO. Whether it's an HMO that you set up and you lease to a care provider or maybe a charity, those people may be vulnerable. They may be long-term unemployed. There may be other reasons why they're being housed by the third party provider. What's very interesting to me, linked to social housing and the growth of social housing is debt at local government level. As of 2023, local government debt nationally was about nine billion pounds. This means that's about one thousand four hundred pounds per person in every local government area has debt to that level. That's the equivalent of many people's annual council tax bill. The big regulation coming forth this year is called the RRB - the Renter's Rights Bill. That is rapidly making its way through the Houses of Parliament. It's being read currently in the Lords and we're awaiting some amendments. The HMO action group wrote to about 25 members of the House of Lords to try and influence them in their thinking about particular amendments to that bill. Students are very badly treated by the Renters Rights Bill and I feel sympathetic towards those landlords that have offered really good quality student lettings for a number of years and now suddenly find that they cannot offer that fixed term tenancy of nine months or 12 months at the beginning. I think there's going to be ways around it. We don't do student HMO, so I'm not an expert in this field, but I know other people who are doing student HMOs and they've thought about it. I think again there's going to be creative solutions around it. On that note, I'm going to call our discussion to an end. We've covered some of our thoughts and predictions about 2025. Some of these are certainties, some of these are possibilities, but whatever happens, we want to wish you a prosperous and happy 2025. Please note that none of this is intended as financial advice. It's simply our musings on what's going on in the wider world of macroeconomics and housing statistics. Keep providing good quality HMOs for your tenants because long-term people need somewhere to live. Everyone needs a home. Look forward to speaking to you soon.

I'm joined once more by Adam Lawrence, to focus on the impact of the recent budget on property investors. We discuss various aspects such as tax thresholds, capital gains tax, multiple dwellings relief, and the potential effects of upcoming elections on the property market. Adam shares his insights on navigating the current economic landscape and offers strategic advice for property investors.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Election Year Opportunities: Adam suggests that election years tend to offer opportunities for property transactions, especially when the election date is announced, as transactions tend to drop, presenting a window for contrarian investors to ramp up activity. Inflation and Property Ownership: Adam highlights that property owners are in a favourable position to take advantage of inflation, as property ownership is the second-best position in the economy to benefit from inflation. Commercial Property Outlook: Adam expresses a bullish outlook for commercial property, emphasising that leverage and asset acquisition in the face of inflation should ultimately work in favour of property owners. BEST MOMENTS "I think realistically, election years as a rule tend to offer opportunities right and where the budget you can you can imagine how some of that stuff we've discussed with the budget can be used in your communication with vendors." "The forecast looked magnificent, right? Second best people to take advantage of inflation, second best position in the economy, property owners. Very bullish, really."  "I think be ready, be ready to transact, be financially attractive. It's not the worst time in the world to be re-gearing stuff."

GUEST OVERVIEW: Courtnenay is an activist who campaigns against the HPV vaccine and challenges the prevailing narrative surrounding COVID-19. He is also an author. Twitter/X at @courtenaymanx.

Built (truly "built," not just "laid out") by Willie Park, Jr., in 1900 and 1901, the Old Course at Sunningdale Golf Club was, to that point, the most expensive construction project in golf history. It was also more functional, systematically designed, and artful than golfers of the 1890s would have imagined an inland course could be. It marked a major advance in golf architecture and the beginning of the period we now call "the Golden Age." This third installment of our Great Courses series starts with an extended introduction from Garrett on the state of golf course design in the late 1800s and the turning point that Sunningdale represented. To further explore the course's design and influence, Garrett brings on Adam Lawrence (16:26), the editor of Golf Course Architecture magazine and the author of an upcoming biography of Harry Colt. Garrett and Adam discuss Sunngindale's origins, Colt's important role in refining its design, and much more.

This week, I'm talking with Adam Lawrence, a property investor with a vast portfolio and an economics background. While the conversation touches on Lawrence's property ventures, the focus is primarily on the economics, particularly the Bank of England and interest rates. We discuss the concept of forward guidance and its effectiveness, as well as the accuracy of economic forecasts. Adam provides insights into the factors influencing inflation, such as external events like the Ukraine crisis and their impact on commodity prices. We also delve into the role of interest rates in controlling inflation and the challenges faced by the Bank of England in making decisions.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The Bank of England's forward guidance has been criticised for its lack of accuracy in predicting economic outcomes, such as recession and interest rate changes. The Bank of England uses market forecasts to inform its own predictions and decision-making, but this approach can lead to uncertainty and confusion in the markets. External factors, such as global commodity prices and geopolitical events, can have a significant impact on inflation and the economy, making it challenging for the Bank of England to control inflation solely through interest rate adjustments. The Bank of England's communication and clarity of strategy have been questioned, with concerns about the effectiveness of forward guidance and the lack of coordination between the bank and the government. BEST MOMENTS "I think people kind of missed the point with that Jerry because that's good central banking in my book because ultimately there's a Ben Bernanke phrase where he said good central banking is 98% talk and 2% action and that's what you want."  "I think they've used models that are great while everything is chugging along relatively stably, right? And the problem is things have not been chugging along with stability at all. This has been a relatively unprecedented cycle."  "People suffer with sunk cost ideologies and stuff all the time."  "When the facts change, I change my mind, sir. What do you do? People definitely get stuck in ruts and don't want to admit that they're fallible. There's definitely a part of that. They are human, as you said."

Adam has worked with show including Geordie Shore, The Inbetweenres, Coastguard, The Fast Show, The Windsors, Derry Girls, Inside the Ambulance and many more for clients like BBC, Chanel 4, Endemol and The Radio Times.This is highly skilled, technical work for big clients but Adam is able to install the images with such life and personality which is a testament to his experience as a 1-to-1 portrait photographer.

Hey Premium-ster! I totally love you for the fact that you're a subscriber and believer in what we are doing at This is HCD! You're getting this episode first... Play. Something we all did as children, but as we grow older, it's less and less common to see, and even more so within the workplace. Play is often seen as the opposite of work. But what about if your job was to help unlock the potential, and you encourage play to do that in the workplace? Well, earlier this year, Adam Lawrence and Marcos Edgar Hormess, who I've worked with for many years, mentioned to me about a new play kit that they were involved in creating with Playmobil Pro. And I bought the full pro kit myself out of my own money. So this isn't an advert. I paid for this kit myself. But once I got it, I hit a few stumbling blocks. And I wasn't entirely sure how to weave it into my sessions or my workshops with my clients. Now, Frank, the MD of PlayMobile Pro, who I spoke to earlier in this year on the podcast, was awesome and connected me with today's guest, Juan Prego. Now, on the topic of play, I've been a big fan of Miro for many, many years. It's the tool of choice for my online workshops. And they've kindly sponsored today's episode. And the sessions and learning experience that I provide for my clients are always fun. And I put this down to the utilizing of Miro's fun features inside their tool. And I can really curate whatever experience I want to have within my canvases. Now Miro are helping us out. By sponsoring this episode, as I said, so if you want to show some love, why not check out what they've been doing by visiting Miro. com forward slash podcast, or by clicking the link in the description or show notes, depending on where you're listening or watching this episode. Now, if you are listening, did you know that you can watch this episode on our YouTube channel? People are absolutely loving the fact that they can see the guests chat about things. So be sure to subscribe if you can get a chance and check out our YouTube channel. Back to Juan. He's produced an awesome book, Play Like a Pro, that is due out later this year in 2023 in English. And I have a copy of it and it's awesome. It's great to hear Juan though in this episode talk about how he recommends weaving methods like Playmobil Pro into his sessions. Is it as simple as just cutting and pasting? And also cover off his thoughts regarding Playmobil Pro versus LEGO Serious Play etc. There's a debate in the community on which is best. Not much of a debate anyway. Let's jump straight in.

As strategists and designers, we often facilitate gatherings of stakeholders with a variety of priorities and approaches. There can be a temptation in such groups to leap into action and start building solutions and creating content right away. A good facilitator like Adam Lawrence can redirect this natural human enthusiasm to bring focus to our equally natural curiosity and humility, which almost always results in better products that address customers' actual problems. https://ellessmedia.com/csi/adam-lawrence/

This one was a challenge... I'm trying to summarize the episode you'll hear with Adam Lawrence and explain why you would want to tune in. Ironically, of the key takeaways from the conversation is that words can be very limiting, especially when dealing with challenges that involve complex intangible human experiences. This is why you see many other, richer forms of communication being used in service design. We love to visualize, prototype with LEGO and even act things out. And what we find is that these forms of communication, which look deceivingly playful to outsiders, lead to better and faster decision-making. It's not just about being more effective either; by focusing on words as the primary way of communication, we exclude those who could contribute meaningfully through other expressive means. However, as I'm sure you know, not everyone feels comfortable with these alternative forms of communication, even though they are more effective and inclusive. Many organizations crave certainty, logic, and definitive answers, leaving little room for ambiguity. This brings us back to the conversation with Adam. We delve into why non-designers hesitate to embrace richer forms of communication and the fears and anxieties associated with it. And how can we lead by example to create a pull effect rather than imposing our methods dogmatically onto others. So, all in all, we cover a lot of ground in a conversation where we advocate for using fewer words :) A standout message for me was when Adam said that the riskiest thing a business can do is stick to the status quo. Enjoy the episode, and keep making a positive impact. --- [ 1.

Earlier this year, I attended a conference in Nuremberg called Teaming with AI, run by my good friends, Markus Edgar Hormess, Adam Lawrence from WorlPlayExperience and also today's guest, Florian Bailey. The day before the event, myself and Florian spent some time together and hung out and explored the office where he was based. In passing, Florian mentioned he also was co-founder of Etz a 2-Star Michelin restaurant. I actually thought he was joking, but no, one of his businesses was the most incredible restaurant. The reason why I thought he was joking was, I've watched those documentaries on how demanding these types of restaurants can be - and I knew Florian was already super busy with his User Centered Strategy business, Nurenberg Festival etc The next day, at the event, Etz provided all the food. The food was extremely special but that wasn't the bit that I was most interested in. I was interested in the journey that Florian and his co-founder went on to get to this point. I mentioned that I had walked around the office space, well this is the same space that Markus and Adam use for their amazing This is Service Design Doing workshops from time to time. But it's also the same space that Florian used to test the prototype for the restaurant - where was the line of visibility, the line of interaction. I wanted to drill a little deeper into these areas and learn more about that journey, what worked, what didn't work. So if you're looking for an awesome example of a world-class business that utilises service design methods - look no further. https://etzrestaurant.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/florian-bailey-b301512 This is HCD Links Coaching and Mentoring https://www.thisishcd.com/coaching-mentoring-for-innovators-change-makers Video Courses Service Design : https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/video-on-demand-introduction-to-human-centered-service-design-using-journey-mapping Visualisation Methods for Change Makers: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/visualisation-methods-for-change-makers Service Blueprint Essentials: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/service-blueprint-essentials Journey Mapping Fundamentals: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/journey-mapping-fundamentals Stakeholder Mapping Essentials: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/stakeholder-mapping-essentials Become a Patron (Ad-Free Stream) https://www.thisishcd.com/become-a-patron Join our newsletter https://www.thisishcd.com/community/stay-up-to-date-with-this-is-hcd Free email guides 7 Days of Awesome Journey Map Tips: https://www.thisishcd.com/landing/7-day-killer-journey-mapping-tips Our partner links Webflow is our web partner https://webflow.grsm.io/o6ox60tdryl2 Descript powers out production https://www.descript.com/?lmref=eXj7zA CastUp edits our shows http://app.usecastup.com/podcaster-school I prepare notes with Speechify https://share.speechify.com/mzuLDOo All music on this podcast is from our pro level Artist account - and we love them for it! https://artlist.io/Gerry-292475 Learn more about your ad choices.

In today's episode of the Brains Byte Back podcast, we speak with Adam Lawrence, Co-Founder and CEO of Boom & Bucket, a trusted digital dealer for buying and selling used heavy equipment.  In this episode, Lawrence kicks off by sharing how Boom & Bucket is the largest website for buying and selling used construction equipment online, ranging from tractors to bulldozers to cranes.  He then details how the company got started, when the two co-founders, Aaron and Samir, sold a company to Caterpillar in 2017 and stayed on to help with Cat Digital Labs, the innovation department of Caterpillar.  During this time, Lawrence was running a large payments business which he left in 2020. Lawrence and Samir met, and with Lawrence's desire to stay in e-commerce, and Samir's insights on using data to better understand the quality of the equipment being sold, the founding team started working on Boom & Bucket. Despite the company having only been around for two years, Lawrence shares that they have achieved a lot in this short space of time. He highlights this by pointing out that they have raised a venture round in 2021 and built a team that includes a head of operations and a head of engineering. Boom & Bucket officially launched in February 2022 and since then has become one of the fastest-growing companies of its type. Lawrence also shares the backstory behind the name "Boom & Bucket," which Lawrence advocates was chosen from a list of 50 names. The alliteration, as well as the fact that both a boom and a bucket are components of the construction equipment being sold, made it a winning name.  Lawrence claims that they set out to build an iconic logo and brand around the name, with a red, white, and blue color scheme and a simple line drawing of an excavator that evokes movement. He explains that the goal was to build an Americana brand that would still resonate 50 years from now. Links

Hey folks, I'm delighted to bring you two exclusive interviews from a very special event that I attended recently in Nuremberg in Germany called Teaming with AI.  A few weeks ago, as I was driving to Northern Ireland, I mentioned to my wife, about an event my friends Markus Hormess, Adam Lawrence and Florian Bailey were hosting. I didn't expect to be given a free pass to attend from the family, but it came and I didn't ask a second time. I've a bit of a love hate relationship with AI. I enjoy reading about, but can foresee some massive transformations that are likely to occur, not in the future, but right here and right now. I hadn't really sat down and given the impact that much thought other than it was extremely likely. This event gave me the time to pause, connect, reflect and review the changes in macro level detail.  What was of most interest to me, was how it would change how we design or more to the point, how it would likely change DESIGN. I gave an-hour session at the conference on how This is HCD has been leaning into AI since 2018. Most of the edits are trained on my voice, meaning we have presets for my microphone at home, and even have the ability to edit what I say using a trained AI on my Mac to make small changes here and there. But back to Design, well I was in a workshop led by our guest today, Steffi Keiffir. She is an independent practiioner and facilitates Design Thinking workshops, Design Sprints etc and has been using AI a lot more than most within their work, and we go deeper into this. Just how they are using, what AI pieces they are using, so if you listen to the entire episode, you'll get an overview of just how much change is upon us. We used a basic 5-step design process and reviewed how, where and when AI can be applied and what the likely outcomes are. Quite simply, this is a must listen for anyone on the tools, or anyone within any strategic function in business today. Let's get into it. https://www.linkedin.com/in/steffikieffer/ Explore the Conference / https://www.teamingwith.ai/ ABOUT THIS IS HCD Coaching and Mentoring https://www.thisishcd.com/coaching-mentoring-for-innovators-change-makers Video Courses Service Design : https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/video-on-demand-introduction-to-human-centered-service-design-using-journey-mapping Visualisation Methods for Change Makers: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/visualisation-methods-for-change-makers Service Blueprint Essentials: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/service-blueprint-essentials Journey Mapping Fundamentals: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/journey-mapping-fundamentals Stakeholder Mapping Essentials: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/stakeholder-mapping-essentials Become a Patron (Ad-Free Stream) https://www.thisishcd.com/become-a-patron Join our newsletter https://www.thisishcd.com/community/stay-up-to-date-with-this-is-hcd Free email guides 7 Days of Awesome Journey Map Tips: https://www.thisishcd.com/landing/7-day-killer-journey-mapping-tips Our partner links Webflow is our web partner https://webflow.grsm.io/o6ox60tdryl2 Descript powers out production https://www.descript.com/?lmref=eXj7zA CastUp edits our shows http://app.usecastup.com/podcaster-school I prepare notes with Speechify https://share.speechify.com/mzuLDOo All music on this podcast is from our pro level Artist account - and we love them for it! https://artlist.io/Gerry-292475 Learn more about your ad choices.

Air humping in leg warmers meets journalistic malfeasance and everyone's lives are ruined. But hey! Jaime Lee is hot, so I guess that's ok. Hailed as the film that ended Travolta's career (briefly, lets be honest) and set Jamie Lee back a few years, Perfect is anything but. Its way too long for such a paper thin plot and is stuffed with repeated unnecessary and irrelevant scenes that keep it dragging you into the depths of your sofa. Pedantic would be an understatement.  But poorly acted is not how we would describe it. At worst, the acting is "meh", "whatevs" levels aside from Jaime Lee who is pretty darn good here. Even Travolta who we love to bash on did just fine. It's not the actors who are at fault here. What IS wild about this is how heavily involved Rolling Stones magazine is, while also managing to paint the rag in a very bad light. Its somehow screaming out to us in 1985 "WE DON'T ACTUALLY DO GOOD JOURNALISM! DON'T TRUST US!". At no point, would I have wanted to place a subscription after watching this so...good job? The plot is baffling and falls into the nonsensical realm of stinkers. Its border-line idiot plot, but also manages to make zero sense and is clear that no one involved knew anything about either federal espionage law, the FISA act, or subpoenas. Yes I know that maybe the majority of Americans don't but we aren't writing movies about that material either. A lot of the film's dumbness could have been avoided with just a single call to an attorney.  Lastly, the film manages to step on its own John Thomas. In the climax of their relationship, Jamie Lee's Jesse Wilson deletes the article that Travolta's Adam Lawrence was writing (poorly) about gym life and how his main focus is a sexually liberated Linda who uses the gym as a place to meet dudes, in her endless pursuit of perfection. Jesse declares it will ruin her life just like a reporter once ruined her own - EXCEPT Jesse has never even met Linda from what we know AND Linda wanted the article to be exactly about that part of her life. The whole thing could have been a statement article on the decade and changed Linda's life for the better but instead Jesse destroys the whole thing (except she never saved the file on the 1985 word processor - oops) and everyone's future along with it and we're supposed to appreciate her position?!?! No she had the power to change LA and thus America's viewpoint of women and what a woman should be, likely allowing Harvey Weinstein 30 years in the business. #metoo could have happened 20 years earlier (saving a lot of people a lot of pain) if stupid Jesse had just kept her grubby little mitts off Adams work. But then Adam does something equally terrible - he rewrites the story as a fluff piece just to get back in Jesse's drawers. He should know better than Jesse about what the repercussions of that original article would have done but instead trashes the whole thing so he could get some gym rat ass. And that's worse that Jesse's actions - she's just a gym instructor. He's a crummy Ben Fong-Torres. Save America? Nah, sweet sweet leotard's crumpled by the bed for Adam! The movie sucks. Skip it.

In this episode we are joined by golf journalist and consultant Adam Lawrence. Despite attending the same school as Dr Alistair MacKenzie, Adam is currently writing a biograpahy on Harry Shapland Colt, the father of modern golf course architecture. We explore Colt's early golfing days at Cambridge and his early influences, R&A membership and the formation of the Oxford & Cambridge Golf Society. We then take a look at some of Colts' designs at Rye, Sunningdale, St. Andrews, Swinley Forest, St Georges Hill, Rosapenna, Royal Dublin, Royal County Down, County Sligo, Royal Portrush and Royal Liverpool. We also consider how Colt's style evolved through time and what sort of legacy has he left to the game.
