A new report says racist abuse is too often "tolerated or even normalised" in the English countryside, with many incidents going unreported by victims. Researchers from the University of Leicester spoke to 115 people and 20 community groups over two years, for their Rural Racism Project. They found that it wasn't just visitors to the countryside who suffered abuse, but those who are living within rural communities as well. The UK dairy sector has had a pretty successful year. The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board, which works with farmers and food producers on international trade, says that European demand for UK dairy exports reached a record 1.1 billion pounds in the first half of 2025, that's a 20 percent jump from last year.

The former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has added his voice to calls for an apology for what he has called the state's role in the "terrible tragedy" of historic forced adoptions. Between 1949 and 1976, thousands of pregnant women and girls in the UK were sent away to "prison-like" homes run by the church and state and had their babies put up for adoption. In 2021, an inquiry concluded that the State bore ultimate responsibility for the suffering inflicted on vulnerable women and their children, calling on the government to issue an official apology. Anna Foster was joined by Diana Defries, chair of the Movement for Adoption Apology and Karen Constantine, author of Taken, experiences of forced adoption, to give their reaction to the intervention by the former PM and whether they will be granted an apology.Paula Byrne, Jane Austen's biographer and also a novelist, has spent 25 years researching and writing about the iconic author.

On the 14th of June 2017, a fire tore through Grenfell Tower in West London. Within hours, the blaze had engulfed almost the entire 24-storey building, leading to the deaths of 72 people and leaving hundreds more injured or displaced.Grenfell was not just a tragedy of unimaginable loss, it became a symbol of systemic failure. Questions arose about the safety of high-rise housing, the cladding used on the tower, and the way residents' repeated warnings were ignored. The fire highlighted deep issues of inequality, neglect, and accountability within modern Britain.In this episode, we revisit the events of that night, the heroic rescue attempts, the stories of those who survived, and the aftermath that continues to affect families, campaigners, and the country at large. Grenfell is more than a single event. It is a lasting reminder of the importance of justice, responsibility, and listening to communities before disaster strikes.The Grenfell Tower fire left an indelible mark on the UK. Do you think enough has been done since the tragedy to ensure nothing like this can ever happen again...? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to Episode 40 of the Talent Intelligence Collective podcast! In this episode, Alan Walker, Alison Ettridge, and Toby Culshaw welcome Jen Allen Jardine, the self-proclaimed "SWP supergeek" and founder of Beyond the Eightball consultancy, who's currently bringing her strategic workforce planning expertise to HS2 after seven years of asking the uncomfortable questions that organisations need to hear.The episode opens with Toby analysing the results of the Talent Intelligence Collective's One and Done Challenge, revealing how AI-generated talent intelligence reports can produce dangerously convincing visualisations whilst harbouring significant data hallucinations. The discussion highlights how tech talent consistently skews results regardless of the actual prompt, and the critical importance of human expertise in validating AI outputs—with Patricia's inclusion of visa lead times demonstrating the nuanced thinking that distinguishes expert analysis from algorithmic suggestions.The news segment examines Saudi Arabia's remarkable skills week initiative, where they've mapped 8,500 skills across just 12 priority sectors as part of Vision 2030—a masterclass in national-level strategic workforce planning that prioritises focused action over comprehensive cataloguing. The conversation explores Mercer's Talent Trends report revealing that only 47% of employees believe their managers understand their skills gaps, whilst job-hoppers receive 16.4% salary increases compared to 5.6% for loyal employees—sparking debate about whether internal talent marketplaces or salary structures are the real retention culprit.Jen shares her unconventional journey from a working holiday visa in New Zealand to becoming one of the UK's leading SWP practitioners, including her experiences with airline scheduling complexities that cross the international date line and staffing hard-to-fill hospitals in rural Invercargill. Her definition of strategic workforce planning challenges conventional thinking: it's not about timeline horizons but about connecting every people intervention across the business to deliver organisational purpose sustainably and effectively.The conversation explores why organisations struggle with true strategic planning, with Jen arguing that both public and private sectors fail by seeking false certainty in an uncertain future. She advocates for scenario planning that embraces radical uncertainty—planning for multiple tomorrows rather than trying to predict a single future, using external market intelligence combined with internal knowledge to build organisational agility through constant iteration rather than perfect predictions.The episode concludes with Jen's three essential tips for SWP success: secure a "badass sponsor" (preferably the CEO) who can drive organisational change, use data to identify and challenge real pain points rather than assumed problems, and critically, start small despite pressure for comprehensive solutions. Her insight that managers often don't understand their teams' skills connects directly back to the Mercer findings, demonstrating how data maturity and decision-making courage are more important than perfect information.Until next time, stay agile, stay evidence-based, and most importantly, stay intelligent!As ever - big thanks to our sponsors: ⁠⁠⁠https://lightcast.io⁠⁠⁠

But is Travis Kelce just Mr Taylor Swift, or was he always destined to be a star off the field? Michael Jackson's estate was drowning in debt when he died in 2009. Fast forward to today and it's worth billions. So what happened? From lawsuits to musicals to a long-delayed biopic, the King of Pop's legacy is proving to be very, very lucrative.

In this episode of It Takes Balls, 26-year-old survivor Jonny King shares his powerful story of discovering a testicular lump, receiving a cancer diagnosis, and navigating treatment through the UK's National Health Service (NHS).Jonny first noticed his symptoms during a self-exam - an essential tool in the early detection of testicular cancer. Within weeks, he was on the urgent cancer pathway, undergoing blood tests, scans, and ultimately an orchiectomy (orchidectomy) to remove the testicle. While the initial surgery was successful, his tumor markers continued to rise, leading to chemotherapy and later an RPLND (retroperitoneal lymph node dissection) to remove residual disease.He opens up about the emotional and physical challenges of treatment, including hair loss, isolation during chemo, recovery after major surgery, and the lasting impact on fertility and body image. Jonny also reflects on what it means to navigate survivorship as a young gay man, underscoring the importance of mental health support and community connection after cancer.Now in remission, Jonny is determined to raise awareness by sharing his story, encouraging monthly self-exams, and reminding others that early detection of testicular cancer saves lives. His journey offers valuable insights for anyone searching for answers about testicular cancer symptoms, treatment, or life after cancer.Join The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

For decades, queer people have been told that acceptance comes with conditions - be more normal, more mainstream, more palatable. But a new generation of queer artists is rejecting these expectations entirely. This fourth and final summer special examines how queer voices are choosing authentic expression over respectability politics, even when it comes at real costs.Featuring conversations with Brendan Maclean from Australia, whose explicit "House of Air" video became his most radical artistic statement; Warren Dumas from Atlanta, who challenges gender expectations through androgynous presentation; SADBOY from New York, who highlights the contradiction between queer influence on culture and its lack of recognition; and Matt Fishel from the UK, who faced industry pressure to hide his gay identity but chose to create the representation he never had growing up.These artists understand that visibility itself is activism, and that real change comes from refusing to apologise for who you are.Timestamped Takeaways01:48 - Brendan Maclean's radical response to respectability politics: "We created the most queer, joyful, unashamed music video I think that's ever existed"06:26 - Warren Dumas on challenging expectations: "If it makes someone wonder, or if it makes someone stop... it opens up their mind to possibilities of being"08:15 - SADBOY on queer influence without recognition: "We influence hip hop... The world does not spin without the black gaze"11:41 - Matt Fishel on industry pressure: "Every single one of them basically said to me... you got to cut the gay content"13:43 - Warren Dumas on gender double standards: "When you know there are female singers... can display these acts of homosexuality, and it's art. But once a male does it..."15:16 - Brendan Maclean on career consequences: "It also really spoke to me away from pop music at the time... I went deeply inwards, as deep inwards as I possibly could go"20:12 - Brendan on finding his way back: "I had to get back on at a drag night... and the next week I was in Italy performing for Bulgari in a castle"21:01 - SADBOY's mission: "I'm trying to say that it's okay to display emotion... Any type of emotion like it's okay to love and to embrace that love"23:32 - Matt Fishel on creating representation: "I made these songs for 15 year old me... This is the album I wanted to hear at 15 years old"LinksRead deep dives into our queer lives at the blog HERE.Check out the official podcast playlist on Spotify.Follow the podcast on: Instagram • Tik Tok • FacebookSee producer and presenter Dan Hall's other work HERE (subtitled version HERE).Find composer Paul Leonidou HERE.Listen to other episodes at HERE.Visit the guests' homepages:Brendan Maclean

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I catch up with the powerhouse duo Striking Matches (Sarah Zimmermann and Justin Davis). Our conversation weaves together their incredible journey, from garage jams in Georgia and formative years at Belmont University to charting their own artistic path on international stages.We talk about the early sparks: how a chance pairing at Belmont led to instant musical chemistry, their first gig at the Bluebird Café, and how harmonies, slide guitar, and raw energy shaped their sound.They share stories from their European tours, traveling light with only two acoustic guitars, and the magic of making a full band's worth of sound as a duo. We also delve into the impact of having nine original songs placed on ABC's hit show Nashville, a career-launching moment that opened doors to the Grand Ole Opry, the UK, and even collaborations with T-Bone Burnett and the late, great Michael Rhodes.We reflect on the craft of songwriting: from following Nashville's “rules” early on to breaking them with honesty and authenticity. Sarah and Justin discuss chasing their best song yet, recording and producing on their own terms, and creating studio records that capture the energy of their live shows.There's nostalgia too, remembering jam sessions with the Rosson family, watching musical heroes like Tommy Emmanuel, and feeling the support of mentors who helped shape their artistry. And, of course, we share plenty of laughs about gear disasters, sushi metaphors, and why less is often more when it comes to making music.Whether you know them from Nashville, their stirring live performances, or their new releases, this is a deep, heartfelt conversation about growth, partnership, and what it means to create music that connects.To learn more about the duo, visit their website.
