The co-creator of Absolutely Fabulous says her remarkable career as one of the world's funniest women is all down to a series of happy accidents. When she and her great pal Dawn French were making their first series, French & Saunders, they were given complete freedom by the BBC, including the freedom to fail.Despite a few mishaps along the way and a battle with breast cancer, Jennifer now says that early freedom, risk-taking and random opportunities were the best things that could possibly have happened to them.Further informationFirst broadcast in April, 2014.You can hear Sarah's full conversation with Timothy Spall on the ABC Listen App, or wherever you get your podcasts.You can also read all about the Conversations origin story on the ABC News website.This episode of Conversations explores memoir, books, writing, TV comedy, Ab Fab, celebrity memoir, battling cancer, survival stories, breast cancer, British humour, dark humour, Black Books, the Comic Strip, Friends, Roseanne, Adrian Edmondson,  Edina Monsoon, Joanna Lumley, Patsy Stone, Muppets, Spice Girls, Top Gear.

Send us a textWhat if the key to sales success isn't working harder, but targeting smarter? Nick Mavrick of Built Data joins Ron for a candid exploration of how construction equipment dealers can revolutionize their sales approach by embracing the Pareto Principle—the idea that 20% of customers generate 80% of business.The conversation reveals a startling truth: most construction equipment dealers are still using century-old sales methodologies. Traditional "black book" approaches keep valuable customer information siloed with individual salespeople, creating massive inefficiencies and preventing strategic alignment across organizations. Nick explains how Built Data solves this problem by creating a "single pane of glass" that connects high-level strategy with day-to-day sales execution.At the heart of this approach is a fundamental shift in perspective. Rather than viewing salespeople as mere revenue generators, Nick advocates treating them as internal customers deserving of support. Built Data identifies high-value targets, predicts equipment replacement cycles, and even allows salespeople to text questions about specific accounts before meetings—serving as an "outsourced wingman" for sales operations.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when discussing why 90% of companies fail to implement their strategies (hint: 95% of employees can't even articulate what the strategy is). By distilling complex data into actionable intelligence, Built Data helps bridge this communication gap while transforming salespeople into trusted advisors rather than traditional "peddlers."Whether you're running a dealership or leading a sales team, this discussion offers practical insights about focusing your resources where they'll have the greatest impact. As Nick puts it, market disruption is inevitable, but targeting the right customers can negate up to 80% of business risk.Ready to transform how you approach sales?

In this episode of Danny Hurst´s Unusual Histories Bridge Series, he looks at two of London´s quirkier river crossings. Starting with the footbridge that connects Eel Pie Island to Twickenham. A bridge that was built as an alternative to visitors to the island at one time having to practically walk on water at certain times of the day. As well as sharing the history of the bridge Danny reveals Eel Pie Island´s connection with ballroom dancing, the clockwork radio, jazz, Acker Bilk and George Melly, as well as rock acts like The Rolling Stones. Eric Clapton, the WHO, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Rod Stewart, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and more. He also shares details of the calmer, but nonetheless fascinating history of Teddington footbridge, which is located near a strange obelisk. Including its connection with D-day, Tommy Cooper, Black Books, The Avengers and Opportunity Knocks.

KEY TAKEAWAYS The footbridge that connects Twickenham to Eel Pie Island only spans half of the river so is not usually counted as a Thames crossing. The Eel Pie footbridge was originally called Snapper's Bridge, Danny explains why during the episode. At one time, this stretch of The Thames dried out every day. Danny reveals why and what was done to solve this problem. The Eel Pie footbridge closed for 5 years Teddington Lock is tidal and vital for keeping the river navigable. Teddington Bridge consists of two bridges broken up by an island. The weir at Teddington was destroyed by nature during a very cold winter. Danny explains how. BEST MOMENTS “Before this bridge appeared visitors used to have to use the ferry service, or else, before 1894, walk across the river, which was possible, believe it or not,” “Ironically, the hotel burnt to the ground two years later.” “After several incidents of attempted sabotage, the lock keeper was granted permission to carry firearms.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.citybridgefoundation.org.uk Richmond Lock and Weir episode - https://poddtoppen.se/podcast/1723833083/unusual-histories/the-bridge-series-richmond-lock-and-weir https://www.eelpiemuseum.co.uk HOST BIO Historian, performer, and mentor Danny Hurst has been engaging audiences for many years, whether as a lecturer, stand-up comic or intervention teacher with young offenders and excluded secondary students.

This episode gets real. Emma, Ruta, and special guest Cohan expose the madness of sales and marketing culture, from absurd pipeline expectations to commission nightmares. We tackle the age-old question: why do outdated sales tactics still exist—and who's really to blame?Cohan, a seasoned sales leader, doesn't hold back as he spills the tea on toxic company cultures, leadership fails, and the collateral damage of BS metrics. Spoiler: it's costing you revenue and sanity. Plus, we dive into the role of AI in sales (and how it's failing at inclusivity) and call out the elephant in the room—why marketers always get the blame.TakeawaysHow pipeline manipulation starts at the top (and ends with AEs fired).Why cookie-cutter targets and outdated processes are sabotaging teams.The myth of the “Black Book” and why it's time to retire this relic.Why 4-5x coverage quotas are more about fantasy than strategy.The truth about commission plans (spoiler: it's a mess).How marketing can align with sales to actually fix the chaos.The untapped potential (and pitfalls) of AI in tech.This isn't just a podcast—it's a call for sanity.

Ursprünglich als kleines Grafikdesign-Projekt gestartet, um Hip-Hop in Deutschland zu fördern, hat sich MZEE in den Neunziger Jahren zu einem der größten Hip Hop Mailorder und späteren Online-Shops für Hip-Hop-Kultur entwickelt. Gegründet von meinem heutigen Gesprächspartner Ralf, der sich 1989 als Teenager erstmals aber schon sehr intensiv mit Hip Hop und speziell Graffiti beschäftigte. Selbst er hat wahrscheinlich nicht ahnen können, was daraus mal werden sollte. Es gab mal eine Zeit, in der MZEE nicht wegzudenken war aus der deutschen Graffiti- und Hip Hop Szene. Wer damals aktiv war, hat mindestens im MZEE Mailorder seine Caps bestellt oder später ab der Jahrtausendwende im Pre-Social Media Netzwerk - dem MZEE Forum - abgehangen. Auch wenn die Relevanz heute nicht mehr da ist, die Geschichte dazu ist mehr als spannend. Auch weil Ralf und sein Partner Akim (ZEBSTER) aus dieser Konstellation heraus Großartiges geschaffen haben: Vinyl Veröffentlichungen wie "Fremd im eigenen Land" von Advanced Chemistry, das MZEE Magazin, die ON THE RUN Magazine oder die legendären ON THE RUN Blackbooks mit JEPSY, BATES und SEEN sowie vielen weiteren Ausgaben bis in die frühen 2010er Jahre. Angefangen hat für den jungen Ralf aus Itzehoe alles mit einer Leidenschaft für die Musik und der deutschen Hip-Hop-Szene. Besonders Graffiti begeistert ihn so sehr, dass er ab 1990 regelmäßig ins naheliegende Hamburg fährt um dort Graffiti zu fotografieren. Dabei lernt er seinen Mentor SHORE kennen, der ihm viel beibringt und mitgeben wird auf seinen noch langen Weg zum Geschäftsführer von MZEE.com. Als in Hamburg die ersten Full Color Wholecars gefahren sind und erste große deutsche Rap-Jams entstanden, war dann klar: Hier ist etwas Besonderes im Gange. Im Gespräch erzählt uns Ralf wie er vom Sprüher TOPIC aus Itzehoe zum Partner von ZEBSTER wurde, und der noch jungen Graffiti- und Hip Hop Szene eine Plattform geboten hat, die rückblickend gesehen einen kaum in Worten zu fassenden Einfluss auf die kulturelle Entwicklung dieser Bewegung hatte. Wir sprechen über die Entstehung von MZEE, die ON THE RUN Magazine und seine Idee hinter den ON THE RUN Blackbooks, die Digitalisierung und das Ende einer Vision, die Schule gemacht hat. Es ist eine vielseitige Geschichte die hier in dieser Podcast Episode erzählt wird, über den Werdegang eines Autodidakten aus der Graffitiszene, der zielstrebig und hartnäckig daran gearbeitet hat, Hip Hop kulturell zu fördern und voranzubringen. Auch wenn sich weder das Geschäftsmodell von MZEE.com noch Medien wie die ON THE RUN Magazine oder Blackbooks langfristig durchgesetzt haben, gab es mit Ralf und Akim zwei Protagonisten die Pionierarbeit geleistet haben, dokumentarisch wie auch kulturhistorisch. In der YouTube Version der Episode könnt ihr während dem Gespräch zum Teil passendes Bildmaterial sehen. Wir melden uns ab jetzt wieder regelmäßiger im ILOVEGRAFFITI.DE Podcast und hoffen, ihr habt die doch sehr lange Pause gut nutzen können, beispieslweise um bei anderen Formaten reinzuhören. Viel Spass mit PODCAST Episode 087 und einem über einstündigen Gespräch mit MZEE Ralle.

Dr. Carl Jung began to have apocalyptic visions in October 1913 which compelled him to engage a dialogue with his unconscious. In the following months, he transcribed these experiences in his personal journals (Black Books). When World War 1 started in June 1914, Jung realized that his visions, dreams, and meditations may have been precognitions of the impending war. On this minisode, we explore the writings and journals of Dr. Carl Jung to help us better understand this pivotal moment in Jung's life and how it inspired his later psychological theories. ∞∞∞∞∞ Support Creative Codex on my Patreon and get access to the Red Book Reading series, as well as other exclusives including the LIMITED RELEASE SERIES (Kurt Cobain & Jim Morrison), and all the Episode Exclusives:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/mjdorian⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Buy me a coffee or add to my fancy books fund on Venmo: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3235189073379328069&created=1681912456.228596&printed=1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ———— All Music by MJDorian Written & Produced by MJDorian ———— Connect with me on social media for all the newest updates: YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/creativecodex⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mjdorian/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/mjdorian⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@mjdorian⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --------- Creative Codex is written & produced by MJDorian.

On the late winter Easter Sunday when we recorded this episode, we were feeling the accumulated weight of ongoing trauma. Somehow, acknowledging this led us into a conversation about play, and this episode ended up being a LOT of laughing. We do some digging into our videogame likes, dislikes, and style of play. We ask who is the Patrick Swayze of this era? What is the standard number of dicks in a bag of dicks? What is the American Coot, and why should you care? Tune in for the answers to these and other compelling questions. Play is resistance; play is growth; play is life. Have fun out there and share your fun with your people.Mentioned in episode:Scorched Earth tarot readings on YouTubeGames: Stardew Valley, Wylde Flowers, Horizon Forbidden West, World of Warcraft, Rift, Cookie Clicker, Spiritfarer, Baldur's Gate, Shelter, Witcher 3,  Fallout 4TV Shows and movies: Black Books, Young Ones, Fallout, Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead, The World's EndStar Trek training exercise: Kobayashi MaruKateri's photo of the American Coot (Instagram)

This week we welcome Ian MacDougal of the  Lonestar indie rockers BROKEN GOLD. The  band is set for its  first release of new music in three years . MacDougall is a member of cult, Texan punks Riverboat Gamblers,  he spent 5 years with Band Of Horses, and has been drafted into countless other punk and crust band tours. Bobby Daniel (bass) provides low-end to legendary Austin songwriter Alejandro Escovedo and Ben Lance (guitar) is part of anthemic rockers Mountain Time, while drummer Sam Rich has served stints in Del-Vipers and Black Books. While they all call Austin, TX, “home”, they've all put in their fair share of miles performing across the globe. “Spiraling” sets the stage for the Broken Gold's upcoming sophomore album Wild Eyes, which arrives on April 26th via hometown label Chicken Ranch Records. The album's name is a nod to a lyrical phrase shared both by the album track “Shambling”, as well in Thin Lizzy's “The Boys Are Back In Town”. The Thin Lizzy reference is one that always resonated with MacDougall who felt the line “guess who just got back today, them wild eyed boys that had been away” summed up the fried feeling of arriving home after weeks on tour. The collection of songs that make up Wild Eyes reach across genre boundaries to showcase the technical versatility and emotional insight that MacDougall has refined over the past two decades as he performed everywhere from punk squats to headlining mainstages at Austin City Limits and Lollapalooza. The constant is the honesty and vulnerability in both MacDougall's DIY ethics and approach to music, facts that are laid bare on every note of Wild Eyes. To bring Wild Eyes to life, Broken Gold enlisted acclaimed engineer Stuart Sikes (The Walkmen, Modest Mouse, The White Stripes) to track and mix the record, while the legendary Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins) provided the mastering polish.Wild Eyes will be available on limited edition vinyl on April 26th, 2024.

Recording of a debate at the Battle of Ideas festival 2023 on Sunday 29 October, at Church House, London. Subscribe to the Academy of Ideas Substack for more information on the next Battle and future events: https://clairefox.substack.com/subscribe INTRODUCTION At the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Comedy Unleashed's show, featuring Graham Linehan, was cancelled because the venue did not ‘support his views' and his presence would ‘violate their space'. The edgy spirit that used to characterise the Edinburgh Festival Fringe specifically, and stand-up comedy more generally, seems to have evaporated. There was no outcry from comedians attending the festival and very few publicly expressed even the mildest of support for free expression in the arts. Earlier that year, Nigel Farage was debanked by Coutts, for expressing views that go against the bank's ‘values'. Despite the bankers themselves having admitted fault, comedian Omid Djalili publicly sided with the elite bank. When comedians see no problem with using the denial of banking services as a form of punishment for holding certain views, how can they claim that they are ‘punching up'? Why do comedians increasingly side with the Establishment? How can comics say that they are ‘punching up' when they support the people being ‘cancelled' by corporations? As society becomes more authoritarian, where is the satirical response and creative backlash?

The only thing better than an interview with Graham Linehan or Leo Kearse is doing Spectrum Street Epistemology with the two simultaneously! Peter Boghossian presents more than 20 claims to the gentleman, unearthing their perspectives on patriarchy, the looming technological singularity, limits of comedy, the BBC, and more. Graham Linehan is an award-winning television writer and the comic genius behind British sitcoms “Father Ted,” “The IT Crowd,” and “Black Books.” He is a vocal advocate for women's rights and children's safety. He recently published his bestselling memoir, “Tough Crowd: How I Made and Lost a Career in Comedy.” Leo Kearse is an award-winning comedian with a new weekly show on GB News, “The Saturday Night Showdown.” He was banned from his venue at the Australian Perth Fringe Festival after his content was called transphobic--despite writing the material with a transgender woman he was dating. More from Graham:“Tough Crowd: How I Made and Lost a Career in Comedy” by Graham LinehanSubstack More from Leo:WebsiteYouTube channel  Watch this episode on YouTube.

The complexity of being multiethnic is explored in this powerful conversation between host Maiysha Kai and theGrio's Natasha Alford. "American Negra" is part memoir, part cultural analysis, and all truth as Alford shares her experience navigating two worlds. Not just culturally but also economically. Alford talks life after Harvard and the immense pressure she felt post-graduation; she also gets vulnerable about her recent health struggles.  This Grio crossover is full of Black girl magic. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week's guest is the actress, Tamsin Greig. She grew up in London with her parents, two sisters – 5 lodgers and a handful of cats. Her mother had been in amateur dramatics – and Tamsin, absorbed by osmosis, the yearning to perform at a young age. She graduated from the University of Birmingham with a first-class BA in Drama and Theatre – and then, worked at the Family Planning Association – before getting her foot in the door with her role as Debbie Aldridge in The Archers. Since then – she has had a glittering career on both the stage and on television. She has starred in some of Britain's most loved sitcoms – from Black Books to Green Wing – and most recently, Friday Night Dinner. In this episode, she discusses what it's like to juggle parenthood with working life, her love of trampolining and playing a baddie in Paramount's new drama, Sexy Beast, based on the cult-classic gangster film of the 00s.

On today's #NCFWhittle, we are joined by comedy legend Graham Linehan, best known as the creator of comedy hits Father Ted, The IT Crowd and Black Books, but also one of Britain's most prominent campaigners to protect women-only spaces and safeguard children against harmful surgery. Graham's latest book is Tough Crowd: How I Made and Lost a Career in Comedy. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tough-Crowd-... THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER ‘A must-read. Funny and utterly compelling' Jonathan Ross "Having cut his teeth in music journalism, Graham Linehan became the finest sitcom writer of his generation. He captured the comedy zeitgeist not just as the co-creator of Father Ted but also with The IT Crowd and Black Books, winning five Baftas and a lifetime achievement award. Then his life took an unexpected turn. When he championed an unfashionable cause, TV commissioners no longer returned his emails, showbiz pals lost his number and his marriage collapsed. In an emotionally charged memoir that is by turns hilarious and harrowing, he lets us into the secrets of the writing room and colourfully describes the high-octane atmosphere of a sitcom set. But he also berates an industry where there was no one to stand by his side when he needed help. Bruised but not beaten, he explains why he chose the hill of women and girls' rights to die on – and why, despite the hardship of cancellation, he's not coming down from it any time soon." https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tough-Crowd-Made-Career-Comedy/dp/1785633066 --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on iTunes or Soundcloud.

Wie viel muss in einer Planwirtschaft eigentlich gearbeitet werden? Und muss jeder unabhängig von seinem Talent gleich lange arbeiten? Benötigt man überhaupt noch Geld, wenn doch die Produktion vergesellschaftet ist und nicht mehr Geld investiert wird, um noch mehr Geld zu genieren? Darauf gibt ein Konzept Antwort, das sich „Arbeitszeitrechnung“ nennt. Wenn man die Zeit, die gearbeitet wird, vernünftig erfasst und nach einer räterepublikanischen Ordnung demokratisch darüber entschieden wird, wofür Zeit aufgebracht wird, ist das Geld obsolet und sollte schon deshalb abgeschafft werden, weil es zirkulieren kann und wieder neue kapitalistische Strukturen entstehen können. Die Zeit soll jedoch nicht einfach eine neue Währung sein, sondern ein sozialistisches Wirtschaften ermöglichen. Mehr dazu von Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M.

Last year Bill Bailey walked 100 miles in memory of his late friend Sean Lock, inspired by the hikes the two comics used to take together. Bailey's become evangelical about the benefits of a good walk, as an opportunity for blokes to be a bit more open with each other about difficult subjects. He's less enthusiastic about Twitter, which, as far as he's concerned, is a "vituperative swamp of unpleasantness". The comedian, musician and actor best known for his film and television work on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, QI, and the award winning Black Books was also host of the first season of NZ hit comedy panel show Patriot Brains. He's returning to Aotearoa in November and December for a fourteen date tour of his new show Thoughtifier.

Claude Atcho is a pastor in Charlottesville, Virginia, and the author of Reading Black Books: How African American Literature Can Make Our Faith More Whole and Just. As Josh Larsen has said, this work of Christian literary criticism is written "with the passion of a book lover and the urgency of a preacher." In this episode, Claude Atcho and Jonathan Rogers visit some of the great works of twentieth century Black literature. They talk about a kind of theological reading that goes well beyond empathy. They also discuss what it means to acknowledge the image of God in another person—among other things.Support the show: https://therabbitroom.givingfuel.com/memberSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
