Listener Week on Woman's Hour is where we bring your stories, ideas and the issues you want to hear about to air.How much of the detail about your marriage or long-term relationship do you share with your best friends? One listener says her husband is unwilling to discuss any of their issues, or go to therapy, but that she feels she can't talk to friends honestly about their relationship either. To discuss, Kylie Pentelow is joined by psychotherapist Julia Samuel and Natasha Lunn, author of Conversations on Love, a bestselling book.Are library closures misogynistic? Woman's Hour listener Kirsten thinks so. She believes that libraries help women in a whole range of ways - from providing employment to toddler groups - and so closing them disproportionately affects them. She'll join Isobel Hunter, Chief Executive of Libraries Connected, to discuss. Over 70,000 babies each year require specialist care on a neonatal unit (NICU). Parents of these babies feel the impact on their mental health from time spent in NICU is overlooked. With one in seven babies spending time in NICU, listeners Lorna Tallowin and Lottie King contacted the programme to highlight the long-term impact on the families affected.Judith got in touch to share the benefits of intergenerational friendships and the difference they can make to our lives. Judith and Iona are best friends. She's 76 and Iona is 22. They join Kylie to discuss. Presenter: Kylie Pentelow Producer: Kirsty Starkey

The fourth heatwave of the year in the UK is still making the daily farming jobs a struggle for many. But this year the dry weather and heat have also created the conditions for significant wildfires across the country. In Scotland a wildfire started 2 weeks ago in the Cairngorms National Park. It's thought to have damaged around 25 square kilometres of natural forest and hillsides, although the exact extent isn't yet known. The surface fire has diminished but it's still burning deep in the peat soil, and nearly a hundred firefighters are still deployed in the area. The Chief Executive of the Cairngorms National Park Authority Grant Moir tells us that the fire took hold in an area known for its important wildlife habitats, much loved by visitors and the local community.The end of harvest can also be the start of a very worrying time for farmers, when illegal hare coursers drive over stubble fields, set off dogs to chase hares, and often bet on the outcome. South Wales Police have warned of an increase in illegal hare coursing in the Vale of Glamorgan, with local farmers being threatened and intimidated when they try to intervene.This week is BBC Farmwatch week and today we're heading to a farm in Nottinghamshire which grows wildflowers to harvest their seeds.Presenter: Anna Hill Producer: Sarah Swadling

The cost of electricity seems to be affecting loads of you this winter ... actually not only the cost .. many of you were told to conserve power this week after the cold weather almost overloaded the grid. It certainly seems like something has to give. A just released report shows expansion of flexible electricity use and batteries could deliver some hefty energy savings. EECA and the BusinessNZ Energy Council have been crunching the numbers, using an internationally recognised modelling platform.

Last week, the government announced a 20% cut in business rates for pubs, clubs and music venues from April. These spaces are increasingly used for coffee mornings, parent and toddler groups, book clubs etc. - the new church hall for many - and they've become a really important "third space" for communities especially for groups that support women. The government has said it wants to protect these venues that are the beating heart of many communities. But is this announcement enough to save an industry that has taken a big economic battering in recent years? Joining Kylie Pentelow, Beverley Whitrick, Chief Executive of the Music Venues Trust, sociologist Dr Lisa McKenzie and 22-year-old pub landlady Elsa Mckenna, who's trying to make exactly this model work.Actor Vicky Krieps is known best to UK audiences for acclaimed performances in films including Corsage and the Academy Award winning film Phantom Thread. She has also appeared in many European films including Hanna, Two Lives, and The Chambermaid Lynn. Vicky joins Kylie Pentelow to discuss her latest film, Love Me Tender, a moving and powerful drama about a mother forced to fight for her relationship with her son after choosing to live openly as a gay woman. The film, directed by Anna Cazenave Cambet and based on Constance Debré's novel, is out in UK cinemas early next month.Campaigners who work with women to encourage them to report crime are concerned that the Early Release Scheme proposed by the government could put them off engaging with the justice system altogether.  Andy Burnham has since announced a pause and a review of the scheme, which would have seen around 700 prisoners released from September. Today we hear from a campaigner, herself a survivor of sexual abuse, who fears the policy and the current uncertainty. 'Sam' (not her real name) reported and helped secure the conviction of the man who violently attacked and raped her 23 years ago. A month ago, before the scheme was paused, she received a letter from the Ministry of Justice warning that her attacker would be released early. She joins us alongside Harriet Wistrich, Director of the Centre for Women's Justice.New analysis on mummies of Egyptian princesses shows they were warriors not just pampered queens with the signs pointing to them being highly skilled archers. They even carried wounds consistent with those made by daggers at close combat. It's an intriguing finding but perhaps an even bigger question is why discoveries like this still have the power to surprise us. We delve into how much of history is shaped not just by the evidence itself but by the assumptions we bring to it. Historian, broadcaster and author Bettany Hughes, whose new children's book explores the lives of people in Ancient Egypt, joins Kylie along with Professor of History Olivette Otele.Presenter: Kylie Pentelow Producer: Simon Richardson

Elizabeth brings over two decades of experience in the Insights sector, with a reputation that spans both sides of the Atlantic. Her book is part memoir, part manifesto, drawing on hard-won lessons from a career spent helping organisations turn research into action. She's refreshingly candid about her own missteps along the way, including a telling example of research that yielded plenty of findings but precious few answers, simply because the right questions weren't asked at the outset. The conversation gets into the practical mechanics of actionable Insight: how to identify the knowledge gaps that are genuinely blocking decisions, how to work backwards from the actions stakeholders could take, and how to close the gap between what Insight teams think success looks like and what senior decision-makers actually need. Elizabeth also introduces a memorable framework: “no longer true, still true, now true” - for navigating an industry in flux. Because while AI, budget pressures, and shifting methodologies are reshaping the landscape, her core conviction holds firm: the job of Insight is to surface human truths and drive business action. Everything else is context. More Than Just Interesting is warmly recommended for any Insight professional looking to deepen their impact.   Please listen to find out more!   Topics Discussed The Genesis of “More than just Interesting” (2.54) Key Pillars of Insight Practice (06.57) Learning from Mistakes in Insight Projects (12.09) Planning vs Agility in Insight Functions (18.09) Framework: No Longer True, Still True, Now True (26.13)   This is episode 93 of the Transforming Insight podcast.  If you have the ambition to transform your Insight team and the role it plays in your organisation, please tune in to future episodes. Not only will we explore the 42 secrets of successful corporate Insight teams as outlined in the Transforming Insight book, and the 9Ps of The Insight Leader's Playbook, we will also talk to senior corporate Insight leaders, delve into books that have inspired us, and discuss new best practice research carried out with the IMA's corporate members.

AI is transforming recruitment, but technology alone won't create better hiring outcomes. As automation takes care of more administrative tasks, the value recruiters bring is becoming even more human. In this episode of Talking Recruitment, REC Chief Executive Neil Carberry is joined by Laura Tressler, Managing Director, Access Recruitment, and Dominic Waters, Director, Paul Waters Associates, to explore what clients really want from recruiters in an AI-enabled world. From improving hiring decisions and reducing the risk of costly bad hires to preparing for employment law changes that place greater emphasis on getting recruitment right first time, the discussion explores why technology should support, not replace, human judgement. The guests also examine how recruiters can use AI to remove administrative burden, strengthen client relationships and become more strategic advisers. In this episode, you'll hear about: • Why trusted advice is becoming more valuable than transactional recruitment. • How AI can automate administration while creating more time for meaningful conversations. • The importance of getting hiring decisions right first time as employment rights evolve. • Why strong recruitment processes and effective assessment reduce the risk and cost of a bad hire. • How recruiters can use technology to enhance, rather than replace, human judgement. • The skills recruitment leaders should be investing in for the future.

In this SHORT episode of Purposely, we are back with HelenHughes, Chief Executive of Sanctuary Mountain Mangatautari, on what she found when she lifted the bonnet on one of New Zealand's most remarkable conservation organisations, and what she did about it. Helen was the seventh CE in twelve years when she arrived.Three months in, she started asking basic questions about how the place was funded, and the answers were not good. The sanctuary had been running at an operating loss of around $50,000 a month, masked by grant funding landing atirregular intervals. At its lowest point, there were two weeks of cash flow left. On top of that, Helen had inherited a team that had grown disconnected under a previous leader who was working remotely and part-time. Her response was to go to media. She sat with her teamfirst, told them what she was about to do, and went public with the financial reality. It was not an easy call, and it was the right one. Philanthropic funders responded with around $250,000, which bought time and breathing room.But Helen was clear that a rescue was not a strategy. The sanctuary needed to stand on its own feet. Since then, she has been building new revenue streamsalongside the core grant funding. Tourism is the biggest opportunity: 300 visitors a day at full capacity would bring in $3.5 to $4 million annually. An education programme now brings 6,000 students a year through the sanctuary,with global virtual tours being explored. On-site accommodation generates $40,000 a year through Airbnb. A native nursery, recently taken commercial, is expected to add $90,000 to $100,000 annually, growing rare trees most nurseries cannot access. And then there is the biodiversity credit programme, builton work started by a previous CE and developed with Sean Weaver at Ecos. It is the only accredited programme within the International Biodiversity Credit Alliance, listed on a major international carbon trading platform within a weekof applying. The model turns the sanctuary's annual operating costs into priced units of conservation work that can be sold to the market. It is early days, but it is genuinely new ground. •       Walking into a funding crisis: what Helen found threemonths into the role•       The decision to go public with financial difficulty,and why it was the right call•       Why grant dependency is not a strategy, and what to doabout it•       Tourism, education, accommodation and nursery: buildingdiversified revenue•       Biodiversity credits: how the sanctuary became theworld's only accredited programme•       What it takes to turn an operating loss of $700,000into near break-even in one yearKey Themes

Following Andy Burnham's appointment as Britain's Prime Minister, there is renewed interest in what some have described as ‘Manchesterism' – a political philosophy rooted in place, economic renewal and the belief that national prosperity begins with strong local communities. But if this approach were to shape government thinking, what could it mean beyond Britain's borders?This episode explores whether a place-based politics could shift Britain's foreign policy. Would international engagement be judged less by Britain's global status and more by whether it delivers prosperity and security for communities at home? Could trade, diplomacy and development become tools of regional renewal? Any new government would also inherit profound constraints. With pressure to increase defence spending, sluggish economic growth and difficult choices over taxation and public services, how would a Manchesterist approach balance competing priorities? What role would overseas development assistance play? And what happens to Britain's soft power if resources become increasingly scarce? More broadly, does Britain need a different organising principle for foreign policy in an era where domestic resilience and international engagement are becoming increasingly intertwined? GuestsSara Pantuliano (host), Chief Executive, ODI GlobalRoli Ashtana, Senior Advisor, ODI Global & Senior Research Associate at South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA)Laura Chappell, Associate director for international policy, IPPRKate Ferguson, Co-Executive Director, Protection ApproachesRelated resourcesBurnham, Manchesterism and the return of place in foreign policy (LSE blog, by Roli Ashtana)Navigating trade-offs in the global economy: A framework for a world between orders (Report, IPPR)

In this episode of The Private Equity Podcast, Alex Rawlings speaks with Zachary Darrow, Chief Executive of Darrow Everett and leader of the firm's Private Equity and Securities Practice Group.Zachary shares how Darrow Everett grew from a real estate and finance boutique into a full-service law firm with eight offices across the East Coast. He explains how the firm navigated the global financial crisis, the pandemic, client losses and changing interest rates by diversifying its services and pursuing strategic acquisitions and team lift-outs.The conversation explores why integration is often the hardest part of professional-services acquisitions and how treating employees as a second group of clients can improve talent attraction, retention and performance.Zachary also discusses Darrow Everett's data-led approach to business development, including measuring conference ROI, producing targeted digital content and ensuring marketing activity reaches genuine decision-makers.Alex and Zachary examine the growing intersection between private equity and legal services. They discuss the regulatory barriers to outside investment in law firms, the potential role of managed service organisations and how private equity could provide the capital and operational expertise required to modernise the sector.Finally, Zachary explains how Darrow Everett is adopting AI. Current use cases include reviewing large volumes of litigation data, identifying potential omissions in legal documents and improving internal workflows—while maintaining human oversight and professional accountability.Key Takeaways• Build professional-services firms as businesses, not simply collections of practitioners.• Successful acquisitions depend on fast, thoughtful cultural and operational integration.• Founders should prepare their infrastructure, legal documentation and financial reporting before pursuing investment or an exit.• Marketing activity should be assessed through measurable returns rather than tradition.• AI can enhance legal analysis and productivity, but its output must still be checked by experienced professionals.• Private equity could unlock significant growth within legal services if regulatory and ethical concerns are properly managed.Timestamps00:00 – Introduction to Zachary Darrow01:00 – Building a business that happens to be a law firm01:31 – Navigating the global financial crisis02:28 – Diversification, marketing and acquisitions03:25 – Lessons from team lift-outs and firm acquisitions04:49 – Acquiring people-centric professional-services businesses05:12 – Treating employees as a second client group07:01 – Modernising legal-sector business development07:58 – Measuring conference and sponsorship ROI08:55 – Content-led digital marketing11:48 – Lessons from advising founders and investors12:01 – Why founders must prepare earlier13:57 – “Make-ready” work before raising or selling14:56 – Chief Outsiders16:22 – Private equity's opportunity in legal services17:20 – Alternative business structures and MSOs18:18 – Solving law firms' capital constraints20:17 – AI investment and transformation21:15 – Darrow Everett's adoption of legal AI24:01 – AI use case: reviewing large datasets25:29 – AI use case: strengthening legal documents27:24 – Zachary's recommended reading28:22 – How to contact Zachary DarrowRaw Selection partners with Private Equity firms and their portfolio companies to secure exceptional executive talent.

This week on The Business of Watches, we're talking to the leader behind one of the strongest turnaround stories in the industry in recent years. Guido Terreni joined Parmigiani Fleurier as CEO in January, 2021 from Bulgari and has overseen a dramatic transformation in the design, style, and fortunes of the brand founded by master watchmaker and restoration expert Michel Parmigiani in 1996, with backing from the Sandoz Family Foundation. Under Terreni's guidance, Parmigian Fleurier has been transformed. Striving to convey the concept of "private luxury," the brand has released a series of surprising, elegant, technically innovative, and yet restrained timepieces under its Tonda PF and Toric model lines.  The brand has done nothing less than reimagine and reinterpret classic complications, including the GMT and, most recently, the Tonda PF Chronograph Mysteriéux, which stole the show, for many, at this year's Watches and Wonders.  In a wide-ranging conversation, Terreni unveils the philosophy behind the brand's discreet aesthetic and the structure behind its manufacture and organization. We discuss retail, production, and design concepts aimed at taking Parmigiani Fleurier to the next level in the hyper-competitive luxury space.   Show Notes:  1:05 The History of Parmigiani Fleurier (company website) 1:38  Global Impact of the Collapse of Lehman Brothers (Harvard Business School) 3:00 Early Parmigiani Fleurier And the Enduring Appeal Of Overbuilt Watches (Hodinkee) 8:12 That Time I Wrote That 'Swatch Group' Was A Dumb Name, And What Happened Next (Hodinkee) 16:42 Tonda PF Collection (company website) 19:02 Hands-On: Parmigiani's New Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante Is The Understatement Of The Year (Hodinkee) 23:50 Quiet Luxury (EFL) 28:10 The Rise And Fall Of The Hype Watch (Hodinkee) 31:08 Tonda PF Minute Rattranpante 31:18 Tonda Chronograph Mysteriéux (YouTube Monochrome) 41:39 Brand retailers 49:36 Toric Collection (company website)

Send us Fan MailHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast; I am delighted to welcome Mike Jirout. Mike is one of those entrepreneurs who transcend consumer cruising history. Along with his brother he created Ship Mate, which I'm sure many of us remember: the first mobile app for the cruise industry in 2009 when Apple first opened up its infrastructure for third-party developers. They grew Ship Mate to millions of downloads before selling it. Then Mike virtually invented the "cruise accessories" market with, Cruise On, a line of 100+ products (lanyards, luggage tags, cruise power strips, hanging organizers, etc.) and sold millions of items before selling that business in 2023. The brand remains the leading cruise accessories line.  Though Ship Mate and Cruise On have been sold Mike continues to innovate. He told me, “We're currently growing our consumer-facing cruise platform Gangwaze (Gangwaze.com) offering detailed cruise port and ship data down to the individual cabin level. We also have some business-to-business offerings, like custom made, vectorized deck plans—the hope is to make it as easy to filter/book a cabin as it is a seat on a flight. We also offer cruise agent products like a "Cruise Quote" tool for providing client quotes and a "Cruise Kit" for all post-booking info. At CruiseKeeps.com we customize cruise keepsakes (mugs, puzzles, canvas prints, etc.) with your ship itinerary map, port list, ship, sail date, etc. We have the Cruise Deals App, a mobile app for easily finding and booking cruises. We are currently launching the Cruise Quest Mobile App. It's a fun way to gamify your cruise experience with Bar Bingo and other fun games. I've built these with my brother, brother-in-law, and cousin as co-founders.  Our family's love of cruising started with annual family reunion-cruises, where 50+ of us would get on a ship with our fluorescent t-shirts, numbered by age. It was our favorite way to reunite.Do you have a dream car?
