Andrew Coster's three weeks of silence and negotiating speaks volumes about the sincerity of the apology delivered yesterday. If you really felt that way. If you hadn't until yesterday, realised what had gone on, which he had, of course, but he saw the report long before any of us did, then surely, you'd have come straight out starting blocks with an apology to Ms Z. Wouldn't that be a bit more credible? As for the government. They've obviously been trying to get him out without paying him too much. The bill is three months paid out. Essentially gardening leave. And, crucially, an statement from the government that thee was no cover-up. That's despite the IPCA report having the strong whiff of one, or as Judith Collins put it, the walk, talk and quack of one. Coster's obviously done the calls in his head. The longer you stay on and fight, the messier it gets, reputation-wise. He'll be thinking about the next job, whatever and wherever that may be. He strikes me as the sort of guy with a plan to maybe one day get into politics. Local cop boss. Top cop boss. New 'modern' approach to policing. A champion of progressive policing. That sort of resume would get you pretty close to the top of a left-leaning party pretty quickly, I would have thought. He's not stupid. But this scandal will rule him out of politics and pretty much all top public sector jobs in New Zealand, pretty much for life. As the Police Association boss told us yesterday on this programme, front-line officers are being taunted over this. Association with that sort of damage doesn't evaporate quickly. And the media culpa, the sorry, wasn't quick enough.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Richard McGirr shares why facts alone don't move investors and how a well-crafted personal story can radically improve your marketing and capital raising. He walks through Russell Brunson's Epiphany Bridge script, showing how it builds on the classic Hero's Journey to turn your backstory, “wall,” and breakthrough into a compelling narrative that breaks your audience's false beliefs. Using his own journey—from a collapsed software company and wiped-out income to discovering real estate and reworking a failed Property Llama webinar into a six-figure sales engine—Richard illustrates how story-based presentations can dramatically increase conversions. He closes by challenging listeners to define their own “why,” clarify the moment they realized their old plan wouldn't work, and use that narrative framework in every investor conversation, not just on webinars.

Rough afternoon at The Bridge, but a point gained. We discuss:
Historically, bridges have played important roles in some of the most beloved songs in modern music history. But as the music industry has evolved in the streaming and social media world, bridges are less common or important in popular music. Matthew Schnipper, Gothamist/WNYC arts and culture editor, gives us his list of the best bridges in music (as in, musical bridges, as well as songs about bridges), and listeners share their favorite bridges to listen or sing along to.
New York City's infrastructure is of course dominated by its famous skyline and skyscrapers. But don't forget about the bridges! The city is connected by hundreds of bridges that move cars, trains, pedestrians, and bikers. For this installment of our Small Stakes, Big Opinions series, Greg Young, co-host of the Bowery Boys podcast, discusses his favorite bridges in the city and some interesting history behind them, and listeners share what they think is the best and most beautiful bridge in New York to cross or view from afar.

This story should shock everybody, but it won't. Sadly. The headline? Former Covid response lead Alister Thorby stole $1.8 million from DHBs. From us, taxpayers. This guy was 25 and yet somehow in charge of the DHBs' response to the Covid pandemic in the Lower North Island. He stole almost $2m over five months. He bought cars, holidays, a house. He was an MIQ boss. He submitted invoices for work that never happened. One invoice was for $300k. Two of the companies he invoiced for didn't even exist. Now, this is bad for two reasons: 1. How on earth does some 25-year-old who's been in the job just five months, bill $1.8m and get those invoices paid? That's criminal. Who signed off on the cheques? Who was in charge? It's outrageous. 2. The timing. The Judge in this case points out the money went out the door at a time when the Government was scrambling to deal with Covid. Except this guy was employed October 2021 to June 2022. We were letting DJs through the boarder for Rhythm & Vines by then. The Wiggles were performing at Spark Arena. So that doesn't add up, in my mind. It wasn't panic stations, it was BAU by then. So, who was writing these cheques on our behalf? Something tells me this guy probably wasn't alone in taking the piss and taking us for a ride. Give fraudsters an inch, they'll take a mile. This was, after all, peak Ardern/Hipkins money tap era. We were throwing money out the window like there was no tomorrow. Was this the tip of the iceberg and will anyone, other than the guy to duped us, be held responsible for the fact it was allowed to happen in the first place?

This week, Josh and Lucas sit down with Lina Ren, an emerging leader in senior living whose journey into the industry has moved at remarkable speed. Lina shares how her graduate studies at USC, a personal family experience with dementia, and a pivotal scholarship opportunity through NIC opened doors she didn't even realize existed, ultimately connecting her with Cima Senior Living, where she now serves as an analyst. The conversation explores generational misconceptions about senior housing, the power of mentorship and networking, the role of technology in shaping the future of senior living, and the workforce challenges facing the industry.

Chelsea held Arsenal at Stamford Bridge in one of the best games of the season on Sunday to prevent the Gunners extending their lead at the top of the Premier League. Moises Caicedo seen red for a lunge at Mikel Merino but Chelsea still impressed, taking the lead through Trevoh Chalobah before Merino had the last laugh, heading the equaliser to earn Mikel Arteta's men a point. Across London, things are looking negative for Thomas Frank as he wrestles with the Tottenham Hotspur faithful, after another home defeat. This time Fulham took full advantage of a slow start and a Guglielmo Vicario howler to take the points, leading to audible boos which Frank took umbrage with at full-time. No Niall today, meaning Marley is joined by the traveller himself, Joel Tudor!

Arsenal leave Stamford Bridge with just one Premier League point after a chaotic afternoon defined by early bookings, a makeshift back line, and a referee who lost control long before Caicedo finally saw red. We break down the six cautions, the way Zubimendi's early yellow changed our midfield, the impact of Odegaard's introduction, and Merino's equaliser that shifted the momentum — plus the late chance for Gyökeres and Timber that could have won it.Despite the frustration, it still caps off a huge week for Arsenal: the derby win, the Bayern performance, and now a hard-earned point with Saliba, Gabriel and Trossard unavailable.In Part Two, we roll through a midweek Who Am I?, a full WATG recap, VARse (including the Alvarez penalty rule?), and a look ahead to Wednesday night's match against Brentford — a must-win before the trip to Villa Park.Settle in for a grounded, honest review of a fiery London afternoon and what it means for the week ahead.Chapters:(00:00) – Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:58) – Battle at the Bridge: Setting the Scene(01:49) – Lineup Changes & Saliba's Late Withdrawal(03:11) – Chelsea's Fast Start and Cucurella's Free Hits(04:48) – Six Arsenal Bookings and a Referee Out of Control(07:10) – Caicedo's Red Card and the Play-Acting Debate(08:59) – Chelsea's Tactics: Diving, Disruption, and Referee's Impact(11:58) – Arsenal's First-Half Chances & Sanchez's Spills(13:01) – Conceding Early in the Second Half(14:58) – Subs: Odegaard's Impact & Madueke's Struggles / Left-Side Chemistry Issue(19:00) – Merino's Equaliser: Saka's Brilliance & Odegaard's Spark(20:30) – Arteta's Sub Decisions: What Worked & What Didn't(23:20) – Final Chances: Gyökeres Collides with Sanchez & Timber's Header(24:22) – Was This Still a Good Week for Arsenal?(27:48) – By the Numbers & Big-Picture Reflection on the Chelsea Draw(29:08) – PT.2 Who Am I?

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. In this episode, we feature the next entry in The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series. It's Chuck's chat with legendary producer Phil Ramone, Billy Joel's most relied-upon right-hand-man, the producer of every Billy Joel record during the height of his popularity, from 1977's The Stranger to 1986's The Bridge. Phil won his first production Grammy for his work on Paul Simon's Still Crazy After All These Years in 1975, eventually becoming chairman of The Recording Academy. He also helped produce, with Quincy Jones, 2001's televised A Tribute To Brian Wilson. His credits and accomplishments in the industry are almost literally endless, and what better place to learn about them than Chuck Granata's 2007 memoir (co-written with Phil) Making Records: The Scenes Behind The Music. Phil passed away a few years after this interview in 2013, which makes this posthumously released “Chuck Chat” yet another priceless buried treasure. Here are just a few of the many things that Phil discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: The dysfunctional Wilson family dynamic, which Phil talks about with great candor; Digging into the history of harmony, and the experience of working with The Beach Boys on Chicago's “Wishing You Were Here”; Working with Burt Bacharach, and Phil's transition from engineer to producer; The differences between east coast and west coast records in the 1960s & 1970s; The Nylon Curtain's debt to both The Beatles & Pet Sounds-era Beach Boys; Why Elton John was nervous to perform at the Brian Wilson tribute; And stereo vs. mono with regard to hearing Pet Sounds.

Tony Doe reacts to Arsenal's gritty 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge after Moisés Caicedo's VAR-upgraded red card swung the momentum in this fiery London derby.From the frustration of a set-piece slip-up gifting Chelsea the lead, to pride in a depleted Gunners side, patched-up backline and all, grinding out a point against 10-man Blues. Two dropped or a statement of resilience?We break down:- The overhyped Declan Rice vs Moisés Caicedo midfield duel that fizzled out- Caicedo's reckless red on Merino: passion, liability, or just plain daft?- New defensive duo: William Saliba out, so Hincapié & Mosquera thrown into the deep end, nerves, promise, and the burden of big-stage debuts- Jurriën Timber's seamless evolution as the ultimate modern full-back: inverted threat, humility, and why he's title steel- Classic media hypocrisy: Arsenal "cowardly" for holding firm at Etihad, but Chelsea "heroic" doing the same at the Bridge?Arteta calls it a positive week, but the killer instinct in crunch ties? Still MIA. Standards raised, a point here shows progress amid the injury crisis.Momentum building, haters seething.
This rates cap is popular politics, no doubt, and local government needs a good kick in the pants. But does a 2-4% band simply mean we're going to pay more in other fees? Rates aren't the only way these guys make money off us, we also pay for specific things like resource and building consents, LIM requests, dog registrations, and campgrounds. Will hairdressers have to pay more to register under the Health Act? Yes, this is a thing, and in Kaipara, for example, it'll cost your business $423 bucks, thank you very much. Will we pay more for a burial plot at the local cemetery? That's another fee. Will we pay more to register out dogs? The options are endless. Waikato District Council has a document setting out the fees it whacks ratepayers with. It's 45 pages long. The government may take a revenue lever away from councils with one hand, but councils will no doubt get creative and hit us up from another angle. Actually, this is exactly what the Government itself has been doing. We're seeing the rise of the fee. 2026 will be the year of the fee. Yes, the Coalition may have cut taxes, but they're also overseeing one the biggest hikes in fees and charges of any government in recent history. Road user charges, user-pays, road tolls, congestion charging is coming, fines are going up, immigration fees, airport fees - you name it, chances are it's heading north. It's a strategy. The top line number comes down, but all the little bits they hope we won't notice go up. Councils will be no different. Add in the Water Done Well fee, which will be massive in some places, and the reality is that no ratepayer will feel like they're getting a batter a deal post-cap band. The question is whether this a reason not to do it. And the answer is probably not. But it should come with tempered expectation that we won't feel fleeced when the council emails those pesky quarterly rates bills or charges you for sending a hard copy by snail-mail!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have a comment? Send us a text! (We read all of them but can't reply). Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comHow do we argue without tearing each other apart? Corregan Brown joins us to explore the art of disagreement in an age of outrage. He breaks down the difference between arguing policy and clarifying principles, showing how many of our public fights aren't about facts but about unspoken values. Brown also explains why recognizing power differentials matters in civic discourse and how “unbundling” political coalitions allows for more authentic and constructive engagement across divides.We dig into the practical side of argument—what it means to enter a tense conversation without triggering defensiveness, how to recover when debates go sideways, and why empathy doesn't mean compromise. Brown brings insight from both his engineering and faith-based backgrounds, offering a model for conversation rooted in curiosity, integrity, and shared purpose. His message is clear: productive disagreement isn't about winning—it's about understanding enough to build something better together.Guest Bio:Corrigan Brown leads in-store technology teams at Chick-fil-A—covering point-of-sale, kitchen operations, and digital fulfillment—and serves as an educator with Be the Bridge, facilitating historically grounded conversations around race, faith, and civic life. He blends a background in engineering, leadership, and reconciliation work to help communities navigate complex social and political divides with empathy and clarity. Brown appeared on Faithful Politics in a personal capacity and not as a representative or employee of Chick-fil-A.Support the show

When you hear the term “superproducer,” names like George Martin, Quincy Jones, Max Martin, Pharrell Williams or Missy Elliott might come to mind. But … Robert “Mutt” Lange? Probably not. Yet Lange was by some measures the biggest hitmaker—the producer of more top-selling albums than any of those better-known producers. The South African studio wiz crafted the arena-rock sound of AC/DC and Def Leppard. Then, Lange transformed the Cars, Billy Ocean, Bryan Adams, and Shania Twain into fist-pumping stadium-fillers, too. Join Chris Molanphy as he traces Mutt Lange's legacy of loud—and his uncanny success on the pop charts. He poured sugar on every hit. Podcast production by Kevin Bendis.

Send us a textFew people enter the MedTech world because of a personal experience with the technology itself—but for Brent Lavin, that's exactly where it began. At just 23 years old, a CT scan that revealed an urgent medical issue also sparked a lifelong passion for medical technology and its power to save lives. That moment became the foundation of a career devoted to driving innovation in healthcare.Brent's early engineering work revealed an exceptional talent for connecting technical possibility with human need. Over the next two decades, he would lead cross-functional teams through more than 20 successful product launches, three mergers and acquisitions, and hundreds of millions of dollars in portfolio growth. His leadership—marked by curiosity, clarity, and conviction—has earned him accolades such as BD's Director of the Year and the CEO Excellence Award.Today, as Director of Strategic Growth at BD, Brent is responsible for identifying high-impact opportunities for both organic development and targeted acquisitions. Previously, he served as Director of Marketing and Product Management, where he led global teams across multiple disease states to record-breaking revenue growth, even in the face of pandemic-era supply chain challenges.Before joining BD, Brent spent years at GE Healthcare, where he honed his product management and global commercialization expertise, launching next-generation ultrasound systems that achieved over 200% year-over-year growth. His career reflects a rare blend of technical grounding, marketing strategy, and human-centered leadership—built on a mission to deliver meaningful innovation to clinicians and patients worldwide.Beyond the numbers, Brent is known for building high-performing teams and mentoring leaders who thrive in complex environments. Whether he's shaping go-to-market strategies, integrating newly acquired companies, or guiding engineers toward greater clarity and impact, his approach is grounded in purpose: to help people and teams reach their full potential while bringing life-changing technologies to market.

Send us a textJayne Amelia speaks with Jenny Serrano, a former foster youth and now administrator at DCFS. Exiting foster care in the 1990s after spending six years in the child welfare system left an indelible mark on Jenny Serrano. Ill-prepared for the responsibilities that came with living on her own, she struggled.“After I left care, I was homeless, lived in a shelter and remained precariously housed until I finished graduate school,” Jenny said. “When I exited care, there weren't a lot of opportunities available or even a broad awareness of what youth needed.”Since that time, however, assistance for youth exiting care has evolved significantly, in large part due to input from Jenny and others with lived experience.Now a children services administrator with the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), Jenny works tirelessly to support older youth and prepare them for the transition into adulthood.Jenny and her dedicated team of nine staff members in the Youth Development Services (YDS) Division manage a number of workforce initiatives through partnerships with other agencies that aim to help current and former foster youth gain job experience through subsidized employment and internships.For example, Jenny recalls a young mother who completed 400 hours of work experience as a recreation leader at a local city park through the Bridge to Work program. She was later hired full time by the program, allowing her to get her own apartment and purchase her first car.“Many of our youth are entirely responsible for their own financial well-being as soon as they exit care,” Jenny said. “Employment preparation and career exposure are essential to ensuring the success of young adults.”Although research shows that work experience prior to age 18 dramatically improves later employment outcomes, nearly 90 percent of foster youth in California do not have a job at age 17, according to the National Youth in Transition Database. Data further reveals that more than 40 percent of these young people are still unemployed when they turn 21.To address this issue, YDS employment programs provide youth with pre-work training in various soft skills, such as communication, attitude, teamwork and critical thinking, followed by paid work experience supervised by a case manager and an employer. DCFS also offers paid internships within the department, as well as project-based internships for academic credit.Earlier this year, Jenny and her team received an award from the Los Angeles County Quality and Productivity Commission for developing and implementing an automated referral system that links DCFS to a network of more than 40 job centers. Thanks to the team's ingenuity, the likelihood of future employment for current and former foster youth has greatly increased.Reflecting on her own experience, Jenny is motivated by the memory of one committed DCFS coordinator who supported her as she struggled to find her footing. “He always took my calls from payphones at odd hours and always had a pocket full of quarters to give me for my laundry,” she said. “I think of him and show up every day the way I wish more people would have showed up for me.”See bonusbabies.org to learn more about what we are doing and please donate to support us by making a 100% tax-deductible contribution.

Russell Crowe shines in Nuremberg as Hermann Göring, who became the face of the Nazi Party following Hitler's suicide and the end of the war, as he's held in custody and probed by a psychiatrist as the titular trials approach. Indeed, while a mediocre film, its actors' performances are a pleasure - with the exception of Rami Malek, whose psychiatrist is twitchy, busy, and a failure. A shame that he's the protagonist, then. We discuss the film's structure and screenplay: José contends that Malek's character is not just badly played but an irrelevance, and the drama would be much better served by focusing on Michael Shannon's prosecutor; Mike criticises what he claims is a stupid person's idea of clever writing. And there's more to think about: how Nuremberg compares to Bridge of Spies, which similarly depicted a novel trial that had obvious implications beyond the courtroom, and Judgment at Nuremberg, the other major dramatisation of the trials; the film's tone, which is able to handle moments of humour but sometimes veers into the overly glib and kitsch; the present-day rise of fascism and the genocide in Gaza to which the film speaks; the use of real footage of Holocaust victims and the purpose to which it's put; and whether we think that its critique of the Catholic Church for its support of the Nazis, and suggestion that dropping the atomic bomb on Japan was an unjustifiable atrocity, are surprising and bold things for a mainstream American film to do... or not particularly impressive, and shouldn't people just know this stuff anyway? Recorded on 23rd November 2025.
On the day a memorandum of understanding is about to be signed between Alberta and Canada, listeners to the Bridge have their say about a new pipeline to British Columbia's west coast. None of the writers are shy about their opinions and both sides of the argument are reflected. And then, the Random Ranter drops by with his take on a very different issue.

November is Native American Heritage Month, and in the lead-in to this week's convo, I speak about the whitewashing of U.S. history, not to be a Thanksgiving buzzkill (sorry, not sorry), but because truth matters. Then I invite listeners into a conversation that explores the critical differences between Western and Indigenous perspectives on leadership. My guest, Wyatt Kelly, is a young Apache leader, public policy manager, and self-described ‘yelder.' Wyatt opens up about his experiences growing up as an urban Native, then shares about his work in public policy and community health. I ask him how his leadership style runs counter to conventional colonialist models, and he shares stories about uplifting Native communities, sponsoring youth initiatives, and fostering meaningful everyday connections. Our conversation highlights the significance of storytelling, intergenerational knowledge, and empathy in leadership. We wrap with a call to action to support Native organizations, uplift Indigenous voices, and make way for leadership approaches that have cross-cultural well-being in mind. Wyatt Kelly is a young Apache man, a dedicated advocate, creative, and organizer deeply rooted in community health and well-being. His efforts span across urban and rural Indian Country, where he focuses on equity, healing, and Indigenous self-determination. Whether leading statewide public health initiatives, advising on policy, or contributing to research, Wyatt weaves together traditional knowledge and modern innovation to uplift Native communities. He currently serves as a statewide manager, trusted advisor to the State of California, and collaborator on numerous Native-led projects and initiatives. Guided by the principle of acting for the next seven generations, Wyatt is committed to transforming systems, centering Native voices, and helping build a future rooted in sovereignty, strength, and community well-being.Referenced In This Episode:Yavapai-Apache Nation Remembers Exodus Day (article)Dr. Bernard Navarro — The 7th Generation PodcastCCUIH — California Consortium on Urban Indian HealthSage LaPena — Traditional Native HerbalistSupport the showThe stories and opinions shared in this episode are based on personal experience and are not intended to malign any individual, group, or organization.Join The Deeper Pulse at Patreon for weekly bonus episodes + other exclusive bonus content.
