Der UK-Rapper Jeshi veröffentlichte 2016 seine erste EP. Danach hat er knapp drei Jahre lang keine neue Musik veröffentlicht. Bis Anfang 2020, pünktlich zum Start der Pandemie. Ende Mai hat er nun sein Debüt-Album "Universal Credit" veröffentlicht, auf welchem er seine Situation analysiert. Aufgewachsen in London, ohne Vater, dafür mit einer Oma, die zwischendurch die Rolle beider Elternteile übernimmt. Ohne Geld in ständiger Existenzangst, ohne Perspektive den Eindrücken der Straße von Drogendealen und abgestochen werden oder im Knast landen ausgesetzt. Doch Jeshi wusste immer, er will es rausschaffen und seine Situation ändern. Mit Musik als kreatives Outlet ist ihm das nun gelungen. Viel Spaß beim hören!

In a world exclusive, today Kate Bush gives Emma Barnett her reaction to being discovered by a new generation and making it to number 1 in the UK singles charts 44 years after her first chart-topper Wuthering Heights. Running Up That Hill was first released in 1985 and its use in the Netflix hit series Stranger Things has made Kate Bush a social media and streaming sensation. We also speak to Caitlin Moran about how rare it is to hear from Kate and why she is inspired by her songs. A report out today has found that the number of abortions has increased over the course of the pandemic. The cost of living has been cited as a key factor for this rise at an uncertain time in the economy and with job insecurity. Mary-Ann Stephenson is co-director of the Women's Budget Group, an independent body which analyses the impact of government policy on women. A decision is also expected any day from the US Supreme Court on whether to overturn Roe v Wade – the historic 1973 ruling which has guaranteed women access to abortion nationwide. At the centre of this legal challenge, is a woman who is being hailed by some as the lawyer who could end Roe v Wade. She is the Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch…and the BBC's Holly Honderich joins Emma to explain more. Twice as many women than men are receiving electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) according to researchers at the University of East London. ECT is used to treat a range of mental health issues including severe depression, long-lasting mania, and catatonia. But an FOI request to twenty NHS Trusts has also revealed that older women are also more likely to be receiving treatment. They are concerned it causes memory loss and that patients are not given sufficient information to make informed decisions before they give consent to treatment. Emma is joined by one of the lead researchers, clinical psychologist Dr Chris Harrop and by Dr Trudi Seneviratne, Registrar of the Royal College of Psychiatry. Emma speaks to the writer, DJ and broadcaster, Annie Mac on what has been a big week for music. They discuss Beyonce's new single, Break My Soul, which marks a change of musical genre for her as it's a House track. They talk about the history of house music and it's cultural shifts and about Kate Bush and Glastonbury 2022.

After the extraordinary move by Australia's energy operator to suspend the electricity market last week, AEMO has flagged the suspension could soon be lifted. Following a briefing with industry on Tuesday [[June 21]], it says the spot market could be re-instated if certain criteria are met, and there would still be a 24 hour period of monitoring before a decision is made. Scrutiny on energy companies around the country is growing, with the government seeking to look into reports of a potential gaming of the market.

In this Reboot Republic Rory talks to Head of Social Justice and Policy at St Vincent De Paul, Tricia Keilthy, about the cost of living crisis and its impact on households, energy poverty, and how it is not a case of can we afford to provide for welfare increases, but can we afford not to?

We've had a white-hot recruitment market for some time now and I thought it was right to take the temperature again and see if it's still as hot as we're led to believe  - given the multiple issues we're facing not least the cost of living crisis. William Tincup is the President & Editor at large of Recruiting Daily the world's number 1 online site for recruitment content.  William is at the intersection of work and technology. He's a writer, speaker, advisor, consultant, investor, podcaster & storyteller. William serves on the board of 20+ HR technology startups and he's been writing about HR and Recruiting related issues for longer than he cares to disclose!Do technological innovations in recruitment benefit the candidate? [01:41]On the whole, no they don't says William.  He cites the number of 'chefs' in the recruitment 'kitchen' such as sourcers, hiring managers, employee branding, recruitment marketing etc. all of whom have influence in the hiring process and of course pay the cost of the tech so by and large the candidates are the 'ignored' constituency.The great resignation - lipstick on a pig? [04:10]Is the great resignation all that is seems to be?  William argues that as a society we haven't really understood the reasons why someone chooses now not to work - it needs as he says greater archeology and anthropology to get to real reasons.Are organisations using the cost of living crisis to exploit consumers? [08:56]William isn't convinced that cost of living crisis has been inflated by organisations seeking to recoup losses incurred during the pandemic.  He cites the oil industry who he believes are cynically using the conflict in Ukraine to drive prices up.Will the recruitment market stay white hot? [11:39]Depends entirely on the sector according to William. There are some inherent structural shortages such as there are not enough software developers to handle the software needs of today let alone tomorrow.Should employers help workers with the cost of living crisis? [16.35]Yes is the simple answer.  This is an opportunity for HR to engage on a deeper level with employees and provide solutions to help employees thrive in and out of work.  He reveals the movement towards 'daily pay' and innovative solutions that allows employees to trade holiday days for other benefits such as paying down student debt.Work-life balance is a con! [20:30]Tincup argues that work-life balance does not exist and never has.  He says it's work-life integration.  We discuss at length organisational culture and how some 'cultures' fit or don't fit but there are no bad cultures except those that are illegal.Gen zZ & millennials ask the right questions [24:11]We discuss why Gen Z and millennials are better as asking questions about work-life integration and what has given them the confidence to challenge the norms.The end of working from home? [26:39]The tech giants of Silicon Valley still operate a command and control culture where you have to be seen to be believed to be working. Tincup believes these firms are on the wrong side of history.Get comfortable with being uncomfortable [28:42]Radical Flexibility is going to be the default position and to attract talent and organisations are going to need to raise their game.Resourceshttps://recruitingdaily.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/tincup/https://www.linkedin.com/in/podcasthost/https://ovenreadyhr.com

Nick Robinson reports from Holy Family Catholic Primary school in Armley, Leeds which is one of the poorest parts of the city, on how this is that shaping the choices parents have to make.
