In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, Ian Cameron, the Chairperson of Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Police, reveals that the South African Police Service (SAPS) has 722 brigadiers and generals that cost nearly R3.6 billion in pay and maintenance. In addition, only five of 823 senior SAPS officers underwent lifestyle audits in the 2024-25 financial year - and all five were cleared. Describing how certain officers jump ranks, Cameron says: “It seems that you either need to be well connected, not only politically, but strategically connected in parts of the police, or you need to be up to something that you shouldn't necessarily be busy with.” Meanwhile, Cameron denies reports that Special Leave Minister Senzo Mchunu and all the others were cleared in the Ad Hoc Committee draft report. “That's totally false.” As for breaking news of an explosive affidavit by suspended Inspector General of Intelligence Imtiaz Fazel, Cameron says it “draws a bit more of a dark cloud over” Minister Mchunu. “I think it puts a lot more pressure on the President… I think there are many many missing pieces of the puzzle that could be filled in if he (Fazel) is allowed to testify (at the Madlanga Commission).”

In this episode of the Global Regulatory Update podcast, host Philippe Brahin, Head of Insurance and NBFI at the IIF, speaks with Petra Hielkema, Chairperson of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), following her confirmation for a second five-year term. Against a backdrop of geopolitical uncertainty, climate risk, technological disruption, and economic fragmentation, the conversation explores EIOPA's new Strategy to 2030 and its vision for strengthening the European insurance and pensions sector. Petra discusses the implementation of the revised Solvency II framework, including new proportionality measures, reduced reporting requirements, and efforts to support investment while preserving a robust risk-based supervisory system. The discussion also examines the European Commission's Savings and Investment Union, the role of insurers as long-term investors, and the challenge of mobilizing capital to support Europe's economic, digital, and green transitions. In addition, Petra shares her perspective on the growing pension gap and the policy initiatives aimed at encouraging greater long-term savings and retirement preparedness across Europe. The episode further explores some of the most pressing issues facing supervisors and insurers today, including natural catastrophe protection gaps, digitalization and AI, the evolution of private markets and private credit, and the importance of international supervisory cooperation through organizations such as the IAIS. Petra reflects on the progress made during her first mandate, the opportunities and challenges ahead for European supervision, and why stronger dialogue between regulators and industry will be essential to building resilience, fostering innovation, and supporting sustainable growth in the years ahead.

In this wide-ranging interview with Chris Steyn, Ian Cameron, the Chairperson of Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Police, details the shocking DNA testing backlog. “...this is literally how a child rapist, a child murderer, any murderer or rapist for that matter walks free. This is literally the way that the State, the inability of the State to process this evidence, becomes the reason for a rapist to continue raping.” Cameron discusses the widening scandal surrounding Crime Intelligence (CI) boss General Feroz Khan, the case of suspended Lieutenant General Molefe Fani, and others. “What the Madlanga Commission is showing us is that Khan was actually one of the key pieces of the puzzle for Fani to ensure that this procurement process for PPE during the COVID-19 period was smoothly operated with the South African Police Service……a lot of key players in SAPS knew that Fani had been involved in this irregular PPE procurement during his time as a Chief Procurement officer at National Treasury. And he was still appointed in SAPS as the Head of Supply Chain Management. That tells you that it was strategically done. That would be a key way of ensuring that a 360 million Rand Medicare 24 contract can come in. It's a key way of structuring your entire process before the contract could come in, in order for it not to be red flagged… lot of the things that are happening, make no mistake, it was done deliberately - and it was done deliberately to hollow out and to control the system in order to ensure that further criminality would be able to flourish.”

This is part two of an interview with Anak Bayan Melbourne. If you haven't listened to part one, it might be helpful to go back and listen. Part one covers the waves of colonisation, the 1896 Revolution and the history and purpose of Anak Bayan as an organisation. Part two covers the Negros 19 Massacre, Worker Resistance, forced migration and australia's complicity.VO: The Philippines is in the top ten countries in the world for the worst working conditions. The Island of Negros is known as the sugar bowl of the Philippines for its fertile sugar plantations, however, the working class farmers of the island, like much of the Filipino population, see little of the benefit from these rich resources.On the 19th of April this year, the Armed Forces of the Philippines massacred 19 people on the Island of Negros Occidental. This wasn't the first massacre on the island, but this time there were two US citizens among them, meaning that the usually largely ignored violence against farmers organisations briefly attracted global attention.The Sunday Paper spoke to Meah, Secretariat of International Solidarity Work for Anak Bayan, and Sunday, Chairperson for Anak Bayan Melbourne, about the struggle of the working class in The Philippines. You can learn more about Anak Bayan on their socials, Bayan Aus or Anak Bayan Melbourne. Links in the show notes. If you aren't on this continent, look up your local chapter. Anak Bayan's current call to action is for Filipino youth to go home and serve the people.This episode was made on stolen Kulin land.

In this episode of The New Media Show, host 2017 Podcast Hall of Famer Rob Greenlee welcomes Sam Sethi, founder of TrueFans and co-host of the Podnews Weekly Review. They had a wide-ranging conversation about the future of podcasting inside the larger creator economy. Podcasting helped create the independent creator movement through RSS, niche audiences, direct publishing, and long-form content that builds audience trust. Today's creators are building broader businesses around video, memberships, newsletters, live events, merchandise, premium content, clips, community, and direct fan relationships. So, can the creator economy help build a better, more sustainable podcasting industry? Rob and Sam explore why podcasting can no longer think only in terms of feeds, files, downloads, and ad impressions. They discuss the rise of creator portals, the importance of owning the relationship with audiences, and how platforms such as Patreon, Substack, Beehiiv, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple are changing creator expectations. The conversation also examines whether advertising is becoming less central to the creator business model, and how subscriptions, premium content, micropayments, stablecoins, and value-for-value models could create new ways to share revenue among creators, listening apps, platforms, and even audiences. Sam shares his perspective on HLS streaming, watch time and listen time analytics, activity streams, super fans, publisher feeds, and “super feeds” that can connect audio, video, events, merchandise, blogs, and community into a more portable, creator-owned media presence. Rob and Sam also dig into the impact of AI on podcasting: AI-generated shows, human engagement as a discovery signal, AI bots scraping media, the rising need for clear content licensing, and the tension between making content available to AI discovery systems while protecting creator rights and value. This episode is a deep look at where open RSS, creator ownership, platform control, AI discovery, video, monetization, and audience relationships may be heading next. Topics covered in this episode include: • The evolution of podcasting into a broader creator-led media business • Why creators need direct relationships with fans, not just platform reach • Creator portals – memberships, newsletters, live events, merchandise, and premium content • Whether ad-supported podcasting is becoming less important • HLS streaming, listen-time and watch-time measurement, and better advertising accountability • Micropayments, value-for-value, stablecoins, and new revenue-sharing models • Activity streams, super fans, community engagement, and audience signals • AI-generated podcasts, discovery, AI bots, and licensing creator content • Publisher feeds, super feeds, playlists, and collective buying power for independent creators • Open RSS, data portability, proprietary platforms, and the future of media distribution The New Media Show is a human-hosted and guested conversation about the future of creator-led digital media, including podcasting, video, live streaming, AI, audience trust, discovery, monetization, platforms, and the changing relationship between creators and their communities.

WATCH ▶️ Watch this episode on YouTube *** EPISODE DESCRIPTION In this episode, I'm joined by Jewels Ferris Jewels is a top producing mortgage broker from Kelowna, BC, who's not only helped over 1,000 families since becoming a broker in 2014, but also broke the $100M in yearly mortgage volume barrier. In her 12 years as a broker, she has earned industry accolades like the DLC Master Award and the CME Titan Award with DLC, the Chairperson's Club Award with Verico, and been named one of the top mortgage brokers in Kelowna five years in a row by Best of Kelowna. Jewels was working at a restaurant in 2014 when broker Daryl French spotted her potential and brought her into his brokerage. By volunteering as an underwriter for a top producer, she compressed years of learning into months, eventually inheriting Scott Peckford's $40 million book of business just two and a half years in. After hiring key team members, she then grew to over $100M in annual mortgage volume. On the surface, building a $100M book of business looks like a dream, but the reality included severe burnout, intense stress, and lost personal passion. Four years ago, Jewels hit her breaking point. She packed up her house, put it in storage, and took off on vacation. Today, Jewels defines success by peace and client fulfillment rather than just raw volume, and learned how to rebuild her business, her boundaries, and herself. Jewels is here to discuss: → How she got started in the industry, underwriting for other brokers, and taking over Scott Peckford's book. → What happened when she hit $100M, the final straw, and dealing with burn out. → What she has changed in the past 4 years - saying "no", setting boundaries, and not chasing files. → Redefining purpose and success, releasing control and allowing yourself to be human, and building good karma. → How Jewels handles files that go sideways and advice for these challenging times in our industry. ***

Should every use of AI in a podcast, video, or creator workflow be disclosed? A better question is whether AI created the actual substance of what the audience came to hear or watch. On Episode 670 of the New Media Show, Rob Greenlee is joined by Alberto Betella, co-founder of RSS.com and creator of “Should I Disclose AI?“ Is a timely conversation about AI transparency, synthetic media, voice cloning, human trust, and the future of creator-led media. AI is now helping creators edit video, create captions, translate episodes, generate clips, improve workflows, personalize advertising, and accelerate production. But AI can also generate entire shows, clone voices, imitate experts, create deceptive media, and overwhelm platforms with low-effort content. The challenge is not simply whether AI was used. The challenge is understanding when AI use changes what the audience is actually receiving. Alberto shares his practical “Substance Test” framework for AI disclosure. The central idea is simple: if AI created the core performance, information, expertise, or experience that brought the audience to the content, creators should disclose it. But using AI as a supporting production tool does not necessarily mean the entire episode should be labeled as AI-generated. Rob and Alberto explore the difficult gray areas: AI-translated episodes, cloned voices reading human-written scripts, AI-written scripts read by humans, platform auto-labeling, watermarking, creator consent, programmatic advertising, AI search, and the future value of human-made media. They also discuss why disclosure should not be a punishment or a stigma. Transparency can give audiences more context, help platforms manage risk, and allow creators to use AI responsibly without pretending that every use of AI is deceptive or low quality. The bigger question is whether creators can use AI to make better work while still protecting the human trust, judgment, originality, and relationships that make media meaningful.

In episode 669 of the New Media Show, host Rob Greenlee talks with Rob Walch, VP of Podcaster Relations at Captivate and DAX. Podcast Hall of Famers Rob Walch and Rob Greenlee discuss one of the biggest pressure points facing creators today: Can human creators grow, monetize, and maintain audience trust as platforms fill with AI-generated podcasts, synthetic video, cloned voices, and automated content channels? I apologize for the rough audio in this episode. The audio was choppy in the virtual recording, and I did the best I could to improve it. The conversation begins with a bigger question: Where is the line between useful AI tools and low-effort, fully automated content that weakens trust, damages advertising ROI, and makes it harder for original creators to be discovered and rewarded? AI can help creators research, edit, translate, caption, clip, and distribute their work more efficiently. But the human perspective, real creative judgment, authentic voice, and trusted audience relationship must remain at the center of the content experience. Rob Walch shares updates on Captivate, DAX, and the evolving podcast monetization landscape before diving into the rise of mass-produced AI content and the growing use of the term “AI slop.” Rob Greenlee and Rob Walch discuss why not every use of AI belongs in the same category, why transparency and disclosure matter, and how creators can use AI responsibly without losing the human value that makes their work worth following. They also explore YouTube's evolving AI-labeling approach, the future of human-generated content, platform responsibility, advertising risks, Apple HLS video, YouTube's new focus on audio listening, video-versus-audio strategy, and how AI tools may help independent creators manage a rapidly expanding distribution workload. The larger takeaway is that creators do not need to choose between being human and using AI. The opportunity is to use AI as a creative and operational assistant while keeping human thinking, trust, judgment, relationships, and original perspective at the core of the work. 00:00 Welcome to New Media Show #669 01:30 Introducing Rob Walch and His New Role at Captivate 02:30 Captivate Marketplace and Creator Monetization 05:00 What DAX and Global Bring to Podcast Advertising 08:30 What Does “AI Slop” Actually Mean? 11:00 How Mass AI Content Could Hurt Ad ROI and CPMs 13:30 The Scale of AI-Generated Podcast Uploads 16:00 Why AI Use Is Not One-Size-Fits-All 18:00 Bad Human Content vs. Bad AI Content 20:00 Platform Responsibility, Spam, and Fraud 22:00 YouTube AI Labeling and Creator Disclosure 25:00 AI Watermarks, Trust, and Human-Generated Content 28:00 Will Advertisers Prefer Human-Hosted Shows? 30:00 When Creators Should Disclose AI Use 33:00 AI Tools for Research, Editing, Audio Cleanup, and Workflows 36:00 Human Creativity Still Matters 39:00 Platform Discovery, Algorithms, and Audience Signals 44:00 Audio, Video, and YouTube's Growing Interest in Listening 49:00 Apple HLS Video and the Podcast Monetization Challenge 54:00 Video Production, Baked-In Ads, and Creator Complexity 57:00 Why New Creators Can Still Start Audio-First 01:00:00 AI-Powered Clips, Repurposing, and Distribution 01:03:00 Monetization Risks and Alternatives Beyond Advertising 01:07:00 Podcast Standards, Video Metrics, and IAB Definitions 01:11:00 The Future of Audio, Video, AI, and Trusted Human Creators 01:19:00 Closing Thoughts and Where to Find Rob Walch Guest and Host Links Guest: Rob Walch VP of Podcaster Relations, Captivate and DAX Captivate: https://Captivate.fm Global DAX: https://Global.com Podcast411: https://Podcast411.com Host: Rob Greenlee New Media Show: https://NewMediaShow.com Rob Greenlee: https://RobGreenlee.com Trust Factor Lab: https://TrustFactorLab.com Podcast Hall of Fame: https://PodcastHall.com Rob Greenlee on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/robgreenlee Rob Greenlee Booking: https://calendly.com/robgreenlee About the Host/Author: Rob Greenlee is a 2017 Podcast Hall of Fame inductee and Chair, a global new-media leader who bridges podcasting's human roots and its AI-driven future.

In episode 668 of the New Media Show, host Rob Greenlee talks with Ollie Forsyth, founder of New Economies and New-Media.co, about the fast-changing meaning of “New Media” and why creator-led media is becoming one of the most important shifts in digital publishing, podcasting, video, newsletters, live streaming, and AI-powered content. The conversation begins with a bigger question: what does “New Media” mean now? For years, the term New Media has described digital media outside traditional broadcast, print, and cable. But in 2026, the meaning is changing again. New Media is becoming less about a format and more about who the audience trusts, where attention is moving, and how creators are building direct relationships through podcasts, YouTube channels, newsletters, X, Instagram, live shows, private communities, short-form clips, and emerging AI-generated formats. Ollie shares how New-Media.co started as a mapping project focused on tech newsletters, podcasts, and creator-led media brands, and quickly became a broader signal that a new category is forming. New Media is no longer just a description of online content. It is becoming a business, creator, and distribution category. Rob and Ollie explore whether podcasting is still its own category or is becoming one lane within a larger New Media ecosystem. Rob brings the long history of podcasting, RSS, video podcasting, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, Netflix, and creator platforms into the discussion, asking whether the word “podcast” is still enough to describe what audiences now consume. A major theme in this episode is the difference between audience size and audience value. Ollie argues that creators do not always need massive audiences if they have focused, valuable, trusted communities. A show with 5,000 highly relevant listeners or viewers can be more valuable than a much larger audience that does not convert or engage. The discussion also moves into traditional media and why legacy media companies may struggle to adapt to this new creator-led environment. Ollie says the difference is not just production quality. It is the vibe, the trust, the format, and the feeling that audiences are getting access to something more direct and less institutional. Rob and Ollie also talk about how X, Instagram, YouTube, newsletters, and short-form clips are becoming the new media distribution stack. YouTube remains central for video and long-form discovery, while X and Instagram are becoming powerful platforms for attention and conversation for creators and media brands. The final part of the episode turns to AI-generated content, synthetic media, AI micro-dramas, AI-generated podcasts, disclosure, and audience trust. Rob raises the tension around the term “AI slop” and whether the podcast industry is reacting differently to bad AI content than it has historically reacted to bad human-created content. Ollie argues that AI can help create new forms of content, but it cannot replace the human element, charisma, taste, and trust that make a real show work. This episode lands on a core New Media Show idea: podcasting helped build the foundation of today's creator-led media world, but the next era is broader, more video-driven, more AI-assisted, more platform-diverse, and more dependent on human trust than ever before. Key Topics: What “New Media” means in 2026 Why creator-led media is gaining cultural and business influence New Media vs. the creator economy How New-Media.co maps creators, newsletters, podcasts, and media brands Why podcasting may now be one lane inside a broader media ecosystem Audience size vs. audience value Why niche audiences can be more powerful than mass reach How creators are building multi-platform distribution systems YouTube, X, Instagram, Substack, newsletters, and short-form video The role of clips in modern media growth Why traditional media struggles to capture the creator-led “vibe” How legacy media companies could partner with creators Why “podcast” may be an audience term more than a creator identity Netflix, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and the shifting meaning of shows AI-generated podcasts, AI micro-dramas, and synthetic content Disclosure and transparency around AI-created media Why human taste, trust, charisma, and curation still matter The future of podcasting inside the larger New Media category Chapter Markers: 00:00 Welcome to New Media Show #668 00:30 Why New Media Is Entering a New Era 01:30 Introducing Ollie Forsyth 03:00 What New Media Means Now 04:00 How New-Media.co Started 05:30 Why the New Media Category Is Gaining Attention 06:30 Mapping the New Media Landscape 08:00 How Creators Get Discovered 10:00 Creator Economy vs. New Media 11:30 Why OpenAI and TBPN Became a Signal 13:30 Audience Value vs. Audience Size 16:30 Timely vs. Timeless Content 18:00 Why Distribution Channels Matter 20:00 Are Podcasters Becoming Creators? 21:30 AI Micro-Dramas and New Entertainment Formats 23:00 Short-Form Content and Creator ROI 25:00 Building Multiple Distribution Channels 27:00 Is Podcasting Still the Right Term? 29:00 Apple Podcasts, HLS Video, and YouTube's Influence 31:30 New Media as a Broader Category 32:30 Why AI Companies Want New Media Shows 33:30 Why Legacy Media Struggles to Adapt 35:00 The Vibe Difference Between Traditional Media and Creator Media 37:00 X, Instagram, and the New Distribution Stack 40:30 YouTube, Video, and Future-Proofing Media Brands 43:00 Planning Content Like a Media Company 45:00 Is Podcasting One Lane on a Bigger Freeway? 48:00 Why Creators Need More Than One Channel 50:00 Does the Audience Care What We Call It? 52:00 Is It Just a Show Now? 53:30 Netflix, YouTube, and Audience Expectations 55:00 Is New Media Here to Stay? 56:30 Taste, Attention, and Human Connection 58:30 AI-Generated Content and Podcasting's Reaction 01:00:30 AI Disclosure and Transparency 01:02:00 AI Micro-Dramas and Synthetic Media 01:03:30 Can AI Replace the Human Element? 01:05:00 Bad AI Content vs. Bad Human Content 01:07:00 Why YouTube Raises the Production Bar 01:09:00 Why Human Curation Still Matters 01:11:00 Where New Media Goes Next 01:13:00 Closing Thoughts Guest and Host Links Guest: Ollie Forsyth Founder, New Economies and New-Media.co New Media: new-media.co New Economies: neweconomies.co Host: Rob Greenlee New Media Show: NewMediaShow.com Rob Greenlee: RobGreenlee.com Podcast Hall of Fame: PodcastHall.com Rob Greenlee on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/robgreenlee Rob Greenlee Booking: calendly.com/robgreenlee About the Host/Author: Rob Greenlee is a 2017 Podcast Hall of Fame inductee and Chair, a global new-media leader who bridges podcasting's human roots and its AI-driven future.

Today, Michael welcomes Dr. Ilyasah Shabazz. Ilyasah is an award-winning author, educator, and social impact leader dedicated to advancing the legacy of her parents, Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz, through literature, public scholarship, and community leadership. She serves as Chairperson of the Malcolm X & Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center and teaches at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and Worcester State University. Ilyasah is the author of several acclaimed books, including Growing Up X and X: A Novel, and her latest release, Malcolm in the Desert: Wisdom from the Spiritual Transformation of Malcolm X, which explores her father's spiritual evolution, pilgrimage to Mecca, and enduring message of compassion, consciousness, and liberation. Conversation Highlights Include: -Why this moment in history called for a deeper exploration of Malcolm X's spiritual transformation, compassion, and evolving understanding of humanity. -A powerful reframe of Malcolm X not only as a revolutionary leader, but as a deeply spiritual seeker whose activism was rooted in love and moral courage. -How Malcolm's pilgrimage to Mecca expanded an already compassionate heart and transformed the way humanity, race, and liberation were understood. -An inspiring reflection on Dr. Betty Shabazz and the strength, resilience, and devotion it took to raise six daughters after an unimaginable personal loss. -A conversation about pilgrimage not simply as travel, but as an inner journey of slowing down, asking deeper questions, and remembering who we truly are. -How sacred disruption often arrives through grief, uncertainty, divorce, loss, or major life transitions that force us to grow beyond the familiar. -A moving exploration of grief as a messenger that strips away the illusion of control and invites surrender, healing, and transformation. -An honest conversation about surrender as a practice of deep listening that helps people stop resisting reality and begin evolving through it. Next, Michael closes the episode with a guided meditation on self-examination, awakening from unconscious living, reconnecting with your True nature, and living with spiritual intention. Please note: This episode was recorded prior to Ilyasah's book's release; the launch event mentioned has since taken place, coinciding with a special celebration honoring her father's legacy.
