This week on "Tuesday Night Detectives" from Vintage Classic Radio, we begin with suave sleuth Phil Vance in "The Butler Murder Case", originally broadcasted on February 15th, 1949. When a respected society figure is found dead in his study and all signs point to the loyal family butler, Vance isn't convinced by appearances. With his usual blend of erudite charm and sharp deduction, he peels back the layers of an upper-class facade to uncover a motive buried in envy and inheritance. The episode stars Jackson Beck as Philo Vance, with Joan Alexander, George Petrie, and Humphrey Davis rounding out the cast in a story that probes loyalty, legacy and the lethal cost of family secrets.Then we delve into wartime espionage with "The Case of the Stolen Secret" from Counterspy, aired November 12th, 1950. When top-secret information vanishes from a government lab, the trail leads Counterspy agent David Harding into a maze of sabotage, betrayal, and international intrigue. Harding must unmask a cunning double agent before a deadly intervention falls into enemy hands. Don MacLaughlin stars as David Harding, with Mandel Kramer as his trusted aide, Harry Peters. Produced by Phillips H. Lord, this taut, patriotic thriller captures the paranoia and urgency of Cold War intelligence work, blending action with moral clarity in a race against treachery. Join us for a double bill of deduction and deception on this week's Tuesday Night Detectives.

In this episode of the ASIAL Security Insider Podcast, we speak with Matthew Curtis, one of the authors and a principal driver of the new ISO 22340 Security and Resilience — Protective Security — Guidelines for an Enterprise Protective Security Architecture and Framework, the first-ever standard providing guidance on protective security. This new standard has been developed and completed within the auspices of the International Organization for Standardization. The draft has now passed the final ballot – the process of resolving final editorial matters, conducting the final edit, and, ultimately, publication will then follow.In this podcast, we discuss how the standard is designed to meet a pressing need for organisations to adopt enterprise governance arrangements, enabling formulation implementation of all security controls coordinated within a single framework and strategically aligned with the business of the organisation.ISO 22340 is the first international standard on protective security and following its planned adoption as an Australian standard, the first of its kind here in Australia as well.Matthew went to great lengths to ensure that he explained the development and deployment of this standard was a team effort, stating, “I owe a great debt of gratitude to the team of professionals who have given so much of their time, knowledge and intellectual rigour to the project. These include Jason Brown, Head of Delegation for Australia to ISO/TC 292, Anna Harris, Chair of the Standards Australia committee MB-025 Security and Resilience, Alex Webling, Julian Talbot, Adam Incher, Matt Warmington, David Harding and Robert Gore, and more latterly, Vern Amey. Also of great value were the contributions and support of colleagues on the project team representing France, United States of America, Norway, Japan, Sweden, Republic of Korea and United Kingdom.”
Small Biz Matters: People, Policy, Purpose ~ Episode #235 Broadcast date: 28 May 2024 Host: Alexi Boyd, Small Business Advocate & Policy Advisor Guests: Gavan Ord, Policy Adviser CPA Australia What could be better than one Budget Special?? Two!! That's right, we are the only dedicated small business policy and advocacy analysis radio program so its important we bring you the budget experts to really help you understand what the Budget means for you. If you missed last week's episode, we had a jam-packed show filled with experts on budget night for their immediate reactions and a great unpacking of the budget from David Harding from Business NSW. So, to recap, there's not a lot of small businesses that wait with bated breath each budget night for what's in it for them, but there is a handful of experts looking out for the needs of small businesses in every single budget. They include Peak business groups, community organisations, industry groups and advocates from all over the country. Making it more difficult for small business advocates, is the fact that small businesses are affected by spending decisions every single policy area and every single government department. This week, we take the advisors' perspective; Gavan Ord from CPA Australia gives us an analysis from what it means in terms of small business investment, planning and the future of small business policy for advocates. Gavan is one of those experts who has been in many lock-ups, and understands how to read the papers with an added bonus capability – he's an accountant! Plus, we unpack a great piece of research from CPA Australia - their 2023-24 Asia-Pacific Small Business Survey. The research found that businesses owned by under 40s are more likely to invest in new technologies, are more likely to innovative, are less risk averse, and ultimately, are more likely to grow. Getting more young people into business – and nurturing their entrepreneurial spirit – can only be a good thing for the economy in the long-run. Problem is, we have an aging population of small business people in this country; so what are the policy settings the Government needs to consider to support them and enable them to handover the mantle to a new generation of entrepreneurs? Let's find out on Small Biz Matters this week. PEOPLE – Can you tell us about the recent survey conducted by CPA Australia, annual Asia-Pacific Small Business Survey and what the key findings were? What does the Govt think of when they think of innovation? What impact do accountants have on the everyday lives of small businesses and why are they so important in the co-design of policy? POLICY - Why should policy makers pay attention to this data, and what should it mean for the emphasis for self employment assistance programs? How does an organisation like CPA Australia consult to Government and what other key areas are you working on right now? Does it go beyond Tax & Super? PURPOSE - What are the positives from this research about the future of small businesses in Australia? Or, should we be worried about growth and innovation? There is clearly a strong link between migration and small business success. This data proves it. Gavan is an expert on business and the economy, with a special interest in small and medium enterprises in Australia and Asia. Gavan meets frequently with governments to give CPA Australia's perspective of the impact of policy changes on the business sector. He also makes regular appearances in media commenting on business conditions and the economy. CPA Australia's 2023-24 Asia-Pacific Small Business Survey found that businesses owned by under 40s are more likely to invest in new technologies, are more likely to innovative, are less risk averse, and ultimately, are more likely to grow. Getting more young people into business – and nurturing their entrepreneurial spirit – can only be a good thing for the economy in the long-run.

Small Biz Matters: People, Policy, Purpose ~ Episode #234 Broadcast date: 21 May 2024 Host: Alexi Boyd, Small Business Advocate & Policy Advisor Guests: David Harding, Executive Director BusinessNSW and expert guests from the Budget Lockup There's not a lot of small businesses that wait with bated breath each budget night for what's in it for them, but there is a handful of experts looking out for the needs of small businesses in every single budget. They include Peak business groups, community organisations, industry groups and advocates from all over the country. Each budget night, they are locked with without their devices, crammed into a room which is never big enough, fed with food that isn't eaten, and handed a stackof budget papers, and then asked to dissect and unpack them in only two hours. It's a remarkable feat and takes the best minds in the country. Making it more difficult for small business advocates, is the fact that small businesses are affected by spending decisions every single policy area and every single government department. On Budget Night 14th of May 2024 Small Biz Matters was lucky to be in the media lock up, unpacking the budget from a small business perspective, surrounded by policy experts from the Community Radio Network, The Wire and leading educational institutions. After the lock up, I spoke to a number of leading economic experts in the country, unpacking the budget from a small business perspective. Then this week I was lucky enough to unpack the budget with David Harding, Executive Director from BusinessNSW, who dissected it from all angles and all policy areas. We start the show with the small business segment on The Wire, live from the studios of the Press Gallery in Parliament House. PEOPLE – Why does the Federal budget mean so much to small businesses? Do you think they listen in, or do they rely on organisations like BusinessNSW to unpack and make the budget info relatable? POLICY - Tell us about the Federal Budget and what small businesses need to know. Were there any nice surprises or was most of the information generally inconsequential? What are the major areas where the Government has offered support? PURPOSE - Do you think it will it encourage innovation, growth and survival? What does the budget mean for BusinessNSW? How will the announcements make you change direction in your policy and advocacy work representing small businesses?

David Harding's Counterspy - Hoodlums Hero From-1950 Stars-Don MacLaughlin & Mandel Kramer On the trail of "Slick" Laredo, who specializes in leading young boys into a life of crime.
Get ready for a captivating podcast episode featuring "Tuesday Night Detectives" on Vintage Classic Radio! We begin with the thrilling radio drama "Casey, Crime Photographer." Originally airing from 1943 to 1955, this B-grade detective series stars Staats Cotsworth as Casey. In the episode "Blonde Lipstick," Casey, the hot-tempered Boston Mick crime photographer, gets entangled in the murder of a glamorous actress. With his camera and sharp wit, Casey uncovers a web of betrayal and hidden motives. The camaraderie with reporter Ann Williams and the assistance of Captain Logan (Jackson Beck) make this episode a true classic. Next up is "Counterspy," a captivating espionage series that aired from 1942 to 1957. Created by Phillips H Lord, the show follows David Harding, chief of US Counterspies, as he tackles global espionage threats. A powerhouse in old-time radio, Lord was known for shows like Gangbusters and Mr. District Attorney. Airing from 1942 to 1957 on NBC Blue (later ABC) and the Mutual Network, the show met the appetite for WWII and post-WWII espionage, following chief of US Counterspies, David Harding. In "The Industrial Spy Ring," Harding and his team race against time to thwart a dangerous industrial espionage operation. With unique insights potentially influenced by Lord's connections to intelligence agencies, "Counterspy" explores intricate plots and patriotic duty. Though not confirmed, Lord's presumed access to law enforcement and intelligence agencies, facilitated by Gangbusters' connection with J. Edgar Hoover, lent authenticity to the series. This episode showcases the tense atmosphere of the Cold War era, accompanied by Pepsi-Cola sponsorship and the hallmark quality of sound effects. Tune in for an evening of classic radio mysteries, where Casey's photographic sleuthing and Harding's espionage battles take center stage. Join us for an immersive experience that captures the essence of radio's golden age, transporting you to a world where intrigue and suspense unfold with every twist of the dial.

Now, another in Midday's series of Conversations with the Candidates, 2022, produced as a service to Maryland voters in the runup to the November 8 general election. Midday host Tom Hall speaks with The Working Class Party of Maryland's nominees for Maryland Governor, David Harding, and for Maryland lieutenant governor, Cathy White. David Harding has lived and worked in Baltimore for many decades, as a steelworker, shipyard worker, and as a computer operator for the Maryland Department of Health.

David Harding was the chairman of the petition effort. Our interview was conducted on September 16, 2022. Mr. Harding spoke with Tom in the WYPR studio, while Ms. White joined on Zoom.

Today on Midday, another edition of our election-year series, Conversations with the Candidates, 2022. In the race for Governor, Democrats nominated Wes Moore, a popular author and non-profit executive, making his first run for public office. Republicans voted for Dan Cox, an election denier and acolyte of Donald Trump. Mr. Moore is heavily favored to win, but at a unity rally in Silver Spring on Monday, Democrats vowed not to take anything for granted, and to run vigorous campaigns up and down the ballot. Mr. Moore and Del. Cox will not be the only candidates on the ballot. There are five registered parties in Maryland. In addition to Democrats and Republicans, Libertarians, Green Party and Working Class candidates may appear on general election ballots, along with Independents. This year, the Green Party has nominated Nancy Wallace, a lawyer and environmentalist. The working class candidate is David Harding, who ran unsuccessfully for Baltimore Mayor in 2020. An independent named Kyle Sefcik will be on the ballot as well. The Libertarian Party of Maryland's candidate is David Lashar, who is Tom's guest today. David Lashar is an IT executive who served for as the Chief Information Officer at the MD Department of Health, where he later served as the Chief Operating Officer and Chief of Staff. His running mate is Christiana Logansmith, a Navy veteran and businesswoman. This is Mr. Lashar's second try at public office. He ran as a Libertarian for Congress against John Sarbanes in 2018. David Lashar is 59 years old. He holds a BA from Dartmouth College in Russian Studies and an MBA from Carnegie Mellon University. He lives in Annapolis. He and his wife Margaret are the parents of a teenage daughter. David Lashar joins us today in Studio A. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

However, as Russell stresses in this conversation with the FT's Robin Wigglesworth, it is a misconception that the cultural hinterland of quants consists solely of chess and vintage computer games. Another misunderstanding is that quants can relax on the beach while the machines do all the work.
