Podcasts about Alun

Alun Davies once told his team that electric vehicle charging "would never catch on" — and sent someone else to do the first installation jobs. Today he leads ElectrAssure, the electrical contractor behind nearly 2,000 charging sockets for National Grid, the chargers that greet every electric Volkswagen arriving on UK shores, and some of the first DC rapid chargers for Western Power Distribution.This week, Alun sits down with Paul and John to trace the line from qualified electrician to business leader — and it's anything but a straight one. Along the way: a theatre degree, a stint as sound engineer for the England football team's press conferences (and Girls Aloud), a summer spent on commercial roofs, and a cherry picker licence that landed him an apprenticeship in the family firm.Alun talks candidly about the roundtable moment six years ago when nerves nearly got the better of him — and how a "nuts and bolts" perspective turned out to be exactly what a room full of fleet managers needed to hear. He opens up about running a business with his wife (a former deputy head teacher, now Ops Director), why they've agreed never to switch off from work, giving up alcohol in 2022 to think more clearly, and measuring success by the energy in a room rather than the numbers on a spreadsheet.There's also a school report that shattered a 20-year self-image, a son whose GCSE English presentation was titled "Why Electric Vehicles Are Rubbish", and the revelation that this softly-spoken sparky is the lead singer of a heavy metal band, Before the Sirens.Whether you're wiring up a depot, scaling a family business, or just wondering how a self-confessed class clown ends up advising National Grid, this one's worth your fifty minutes.Connect with Alun and ElectrAssureAlun on LinkedInlinkedin.com/in/alun-davies-electrassureElectrAssureelectrassure.co.ukBefore the SirensYouTubeSpotifyApple Music

Memasuki hari kelima, kebakaran yang melanda kawasan Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango (TNGGP) masih belum berhasil dipadamkan sepenuhnya. Ratusan petugas gabungan dari berbagai instansi, relawan, dan masyarakat terus diterjunkan ke lokasi untuk melakukan pemadaman manual. Proses penanganan menghadapi kendala berat berupa medan yang terjal serta embusan angin kencang yang membuat api terus menyala di sejumlah titik. Berdasarkan data awal, kebakaran melanda area Alun-alun Surya Kencana hingga kawasan Kawah Wadon yang merupakan zona inti taman nasional. Pihak Balai TNGGP menduga kuat kebakaran dipicu oleh faktor alam, namun hingga saat ini pihak pengelola belum memberikan keterangan resmi mengenai total luas area yang terdampak.

In December 1993, 20-year-old Samo Paull disappeared after working in Birmingham's Balsall Heath red-light district. Three weeks later, her body was discovered in a water-filled ditch beside a quiet Leicestershire lay-by, almost 40 miles from where she'd last been seen. Just three months later, 30-year-old Tracey Turner vanished after leaving Hilton Park Services on the M6. Within hours, she too had been murdered, her body abandoned just a few miles from the scene where Samo had been found. At first, detectives didn't realise the two women had been targeted by the same killer.What followed was a complex murder investigation spanning multiple police forces and several years. As investigators began comparing the cases, striking similarities started to emerge, but identifying the person responsible proved far from straightforward. It would ultimately take advances in DNA technology, a nationwide review of unsolved murders and one violent mistake for detectives to finally uncover the truth. Even then, the investigation raised disturbing questions about how many other women may have crossed paths with the same predator.In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, we examine the murders of Samo Paull and Tracey Turner, and the investigation that led to the conviction of Alun Kyte. We explore the lives of both victims, the Operation Enigma investigation, the forensic breakthrough that changed the case, the trial, and the lingering suspicion that Kyte may have been responsible for far more than the two murders for which he was convicted. Above all, we remember Samo and Tracey as two vulnerable women whose lives were stolen far too soon, ensuring their stories remain at the heart of this tragic case.Exclusive content:Patreon - Ad Free, Early Access, Exclusive EpisodesFollow the show:British Murders with Stuart BluesDisclaimer:The case discussed in this podcast episode is real and represents the worst day in many people's lives.

This week, Calum Macdonald, Jo Tanner and James Nation dive into another week of political drama. We dissect Sir Tony Blair's explosive 5,700-word essay critiquing the current administration's lack of a coherent plan for a fast-changing world. Why has Downing Street stayed completely silent and Is Starmer's stubborn leadership style costing the party its grip on power?We also break down former Health Secretary Alan Milburn's damning new report on the youth unemployment crisis. With over 1 million young people now classified as NEETs (Not in Employment, Education, or Training), the team exposes the structural red tape, apprenticeship failures, and mental health challenges pushing young Brits out of entry-level jobs.

Stāsta Latvijas Kultūras akadēmijas profesors, LKA Eduarda Smiļģa Teātra muzeja vadītājs Jānis Siliņš; pārraides producente – Gunda Vaivode Lai gan Jelgavas profesionālajam teātrim priekšvēsture ir daudz agrāka (tā saistīta jau ar Ādolfa Alunāna laikiem), 1924. gadā Jelgavas teātris kļuva juridiski patstāvīgs un varēja veidoties. Tur notika, protams, ļoti daudzas dažādas interesantas lietas, bet šajā teātrī sāka strādāt arī Jēkabs Zaķis, kurš no 1921. gada līdz 1936. gadam veica milzīgu darbu, lai Jelgavas teātri pārvērstu par muzikālo teātri. Jēkabs Zaķis pēc 1936. gada atnāca uz Latvijas Radio un strādāja šeit par režisoru, tāpēc, pārskatot Latvijas Radio programmas, tajās esmu redzējis, ka bieži vien, turklāt daudzas reizes dienā skanēja operešu mūzika. Jēkabs Zaķis pats bija lieliski trenēts aktieris un interesantākais ir tas, ka viņam ir vislielākie nopelni muzikālo teātra tradīciju ieviešanā Latvijā, jo viņš sistemātiski 15 gadu laikā iestudēja 12 operetes, tai skaitā viņš ir arī tas, kurš pirmo reizi 1928. gadā iestudēja Imres Kālmāna "Silvu", kas līdz tam nekur nebija rādīta, bet pēc tam arī "Bajadēru". Savdabīgi, ka galveno partiju izpildīja Emma Ezeriņa, jo viņu mēs pazīstam pilnīgi no citas puses: pēcāk kā Drāmas (tagad – Nacionālā) teātra aktrise Ezeriņa spēlēja arī psiholoģiski smagas lomas, tādas kā Bernarda Alba "Bernardas Albas mājā". Bet viņa bija arī brīnišķīgā Tomuļu māte Blaumaņa lugas "Skroderdienas Silmačos" leģendārajā 1955. gada uzvedumā un arī radio balss, piemēram, Švarca pasakā "Divas kļavas". Ezeriņas meita savukārt bija vēlākā Operetes teātra prīma Lilija Sniedze, bet viņas mazmeita – aktrise Maruta Feldmane, bet viņas mazmeita ir Ieva Kepe. Tātad šī muzikālā tradīcija nāk no Emmas Ezeriņas un Jelgavas muzikālā teātra! Operešu iestudēšanā Zaķim palīdzēja arī tas, ka viņš pārzināja arī delartiskās komēdijas elementus. Un kas ir nepieciešams operetē? Strauji jāmaina ritmi, strauji jāmaina attiecības, jo libreti, kā mēs zinām, ir visai dīvaini: vīrs var nepazīt sievu, kura ir uzlikusi tikai parasto balles masku, un, turot roku, var redzēt, ka viņai esot tāda pati dzimumzīmīte kā viņa sievai... Tātad tur jāatrod citādāki veikli paņēmieni, lai to visu parādītu. Jēkabs Zaķis to ārkārtīgi labi prata, un tad, kad viņš iestudēja arī atsevišķas Pola Abrahāma operetes, Nacionālajai Operai šķita, ka tas ir draudīgi, jo Operai, kurai arī bija jāiestudē operetes, negribēja, lai Jelgavas teātris tiek tuvāk Rīgai, bet lai paliek turpat Jelgavā, kur bija. Protams, līdzās Emmai Ezeriņai teātrī attīstījās daudzi citi aktieri. Jelgavas teātra iestudējumos komiskā rakstura lomas bija aktiera Mārtiņa Vērdiņa tēvam – arī Mārtiņam Vērdiņam, kurš nāca no Liepājas, bet pēcāk Jelgavas teātrī izveidojās operetei svarīgo, raksturīgo, komisko vecākās paaudzes tēlu atveidotājs. Fakts, ka Jelgavā iestudēja gan Lehāru, gan Kālmānu, gan Abrahāmu, gan Benešu, gan arī, protams, tās pašas "Trejmeitiņas", līdz 1936. gadam deva pārliecību, ka operete var dzīvot. Jā, arī Liepājas teātris trīsdesmitajos gados sāka to iestudēt, pat Dailes teātris, tiesa – vairāk dziesmu spēles. Bet šeit bija klasiskā operete, un tie ir daudz sarežģītāki uzdevumi. Jelgavas teātrim bieži vien arī pietrūka orķestrantu, viņi dabūja tos pieaicināt, jo krīze bija visur, bet tomēr - ar operetēm naudiņas ienāca daudz vairāk, un tas bija tik ļoti svarīgi! Savā atvadu beneficē 1936. gadā Jēkabs Zaķis vēlreiz iestudēja "Silvu", un tad atnāca uz strādāt uz Latvijas Radio. Būtībā Jelgavas teātra muzikālo izrāžu process bija priekšvēstnesis pēc Otrā pasaules kara nodibinātajam Operetes teātrim.

Alunshares how moving from Buckinghamshire led him into outdoor volunteering and conservation, and how a derelict former playground became a secure community growing space.  He describes the project's evolving focus, including a “grow it, cook it, eat it” approach, family activities drawing around 2,000 visits a year, plant giveaways, and plans to expand beekeeping classes. The conversation covers impact on community connection and mental health, challenges, the value of flexible “drop-in” volunteering, and Alun's view of Greater Manchester's superpower as community, alongside a call for greater patience and tolerance. Did you know:  ·     Community gardens are shared plots of land, often managed by local volunteers, where people grow fresh produce, herbs, and flowers. ·     Found in urban or suburban areas, thesespaces—ranging from allotments to rooftop gardens—foster social connection, promote environmental sustainability, and provide access to nutritious food while revitalising unused spaces.Key resource:The Red Lane Growing Project Time stamps of key moments in the podcast episode &transcript:(01:37) Alan's volunteering roots(02:42) Red Lane origins(03:44) Grow Cook Eat together(05:17) Measuring community impact(07:55) Safe space and wellbeing(11:05) Funding, volunteers, motivation(14:34) Beekeeping and how to help(21:07) Signature Questions

pisode Summary In this episode of The Effective Statistician, Alun Bedding speaks with Emma May about the skills that truly differentiate effective statisticians from great leaders. While technical expertise remains essential, success in today's environment increasingly depends on the ability to build trust, communicate effectively, and lead with emotional intelligence. Drawing from their joint leadership workshops, Alun and Emma explore how statisticians can develop these capabilities and apply them in real-world settings. They discuss practical approaches to creating psychological safety, shifting from a “telling” to a coaching mindset, and fostering a growth mindset within teams. The conversation highlights why leadership is not about having all the answers—but about enabling others to contribute, grow, and succeed.

When you think of Alun Wyn Jones, you probably think of leadership, loyalty, and a rugby career built on sheer will. But behind the caps, the tackles, and the intensity, there's a habit that mattered more than any stat: He built what he believed in, and he protected it like it was his.In this episode, we go beyond the legend to explore the mindset that made Alun Wyn Jones not just a great player, but a builder of culture. We talk about the IKEA Effect, the psychological principle that says we value what we build, and how Alun embodied that every day, through effort, not ego.We explore:Why working hard is more than grit, it's a form of ownershipHow investing in yourself changes the way you show upWhat true leadership looks like when no one's watchingWhy buy-in is earned through action, not talkThe hidden cost of letting others build for youWhether you're trying to lead better, show up stronger, or build something that matters, this episode is for you. Because high performance isn't about flashy moments. It's about building something worth fighting for.Listen to the full episode with Alun Wyn Jones: https://pod.fo/e/2b6885Here is more information on the studies referenced: The IKEA Effect (Michael I.
