Podcasts about Desk

Tom shares the Editor's Desk with non-patrons today since it's a holiday in the US. He answers the following questions:Thank you for sharing the interview from the Kilowatt Podcast with Jeremy Michalek. I liked having that in my feed, but I wanted to know if you have any specific criteria before sharing another podcast with the DTNS audience. I know that Bodie is part of the extended DTNS family, but are there other podcasts or people you have on a shortlist?Love the show!– Howard------sTimSo with Apple Podcasts implementing chapter markers, does that improve or lessen the chances the rest of us will ever get them for DTNS (and Cordkillers)? Pretty please???----------I just wanted to take a minute to say how much I'm loving the new format. DTNS Briefing is great, and encapsulates everything I loved about pre-2025 DTNS (holy cow, I just started to type Buzz Out Loud instead of DTNS. I must really need my coffee this morning! Or else I'm just really living in the past as I revisit various incarnations of the show in my mind). I even dip in on the other "main feed" shows that are a little more free-form. I love having this separation. I write because I want to express how much I love it, but hearing that the numbers were down a bit last month for my format of choice, I just wanted to express that love even more.

In his 20's, working an office job he hated, Tom woke up in the middle of the night with a wild idea: why not take people on bike trips? No playbook. No investors. Just a sense that he could make a living doing what he loved. His first trip? Four guests riding through Death Valley, pitching their own tents. From there, Backroads scaled to hotels, while weathering a bike burglary, a van rollover in the desert, 9/11, the Great Recession, and a pandemic that brought tourism to a halt. Today, Backroads runs 5,000+ trips a year in 60+ countries.This is a masterclass in savvy cash flow, scrupulous quality control, and dogged iteration. If you care about travel, brand, or building a services business at scale—listen to this.What you'll learn:How a 5,000 mile solo bike trip laid the groundwork for Backroads The first guided trip in Death Valley: four people, high winds, 50 miles/day How to get your stolen bikes back: confront the thief yourself The “collect early, pay late” flywheel that powered growth without investorsHow Backroads survived 9/11, 2008, and COVID—and what changed after each shockAvoiding the Instagram trap and delivering peak, uncrowded experiencesTImestamps:7:24 – Tom's epiphany and the eight pages of notes that started Backroads10:15 – From cubicle to road bike: the solo trip that shaped the company's DNA12:46 – Trip #1: Making mistakes in Death Valley—and learning fast24:47 – Tom's DIY recovery operation after a warehouse burglary29:21 – Cash without capital: spend your deposits, pay hotels later 30:55 – The Nevada rollover: walking out of the ER…and running the next trips40:06 – Recovering after 9/11 and the financial crisis—and rebuilding the company's value prop45:46 – Post-COVID surge, and avoiding the tyranny of the travel selfie This episode was produced by Casey Herman with music by Ramtin Arablouei.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to award-winning journalist Mandy Wiener about former Bosasa COO Angelo Agrizzi’s guilty plea to corruption and money laundering linked to over R1.8 billion in tenders and kickbacks , a plea deal that lets him avoid jail in exchange for cooperation with the NPA. Wiener says the case reflects a strategic shift in state corruption probes but raises a key question: Should the corrupt walk free to catch the powerful? Meanwhile, Jacob Zuma has suspended his deputy Dr John Hlophe and reversed Des van Rooyen’s appointment in a bid to reassert control within the uMkhonto weSizwe Party. Police are investigating the alleged attempted murder of businessman Brown Mogotsi in Vosloorus, and Deputy Police Ministers Polly Boshielo and Cassel Mathale have told Parliament they were not consulted on the disbandment of the Political Killings Task Team, exposing worrying cracks in communication and accountability at the top of the police ministry. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Nigel Beck, Head of Sustainable Finance and ESG at RMB, about the evolving landscape of transition finance — the bridge between today’s carbon-heavy economy and a greener, more inclusive future. As global leaders wrap up the B20 Energy Mix & Just Transition Task Force, Beck explains that while green finance is now widely understood, transition finance remains the missing link in helping Africa move toward net zero without leaving communities behind. He unpacks the key outcomes from the G20 discussions, the challenges of scaling up investment, and how banks like RMB are developing innovative financing models to support industries in shifting responsibly. The conversation also explores what makes a credible transition strategy — from Paris Agreement alignment and socio-economic inclusion to transparent reporting — highlighting how financial institutions can drive sustainable growth while ensuring a just transition for all. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

En este episodio analizamos cómo ha cambiado el papel del videoclip en 2025: de la era MTV al ecosistema fragmentado de YouTube, TikTok y los formatos de performance. A partir de los datos de consumo global y la evolución del streaming, exploramos por qué el vídeo sigue siendo una inversión más simbólica que rentable, y cómo su valor real se mide en branding, narrativa e impacto emocional. También hablamos de formatos que “limpian el ruido” —Tiny Desk, COLORS, Gallery—, de la economía del clip como portfolio audiovisual y del dilema entre la autenticidad artística y la estética generada por IA. Una radiografía cultural y económica del vídeo musical en la era del scroll infinito.

In today's episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast, we've brought back Joe from the YouTube Channel Desk Pop to talk a bit about one of the hottest topics currently circulating around in the firearm industry - Forced Reset Triggers and Super Safeties. These clever devices have been all the rage with virtually every type of shooter - at least if you can get them to run properly. Today, Joe will share some of his learned wisdom with us, some of what he's been up to, and, of course, his thoughts on what FRTs and the like have done for the gun industry so far, and what he thinks it means going forward.

Every October 31st, kids go wild - costumes, sugar, excitement - but what if that same energy is quietly shaping ADHD diagnoses? In this Doctor’s Desk episode, Justin and Kylie unpack a fascinating new study showing a 14% spike in ADHD diagnoses on Halloween day. They explore what this says about subjectivity in diagnosis, the risks of overlabelling kids, and how our environments - not just our children - might need rethinking. KEY POINTS: A new Harvard study found ADHD diagnoses rise 14% on Halloween compared to surrounding days. ADHD remains a subjective diagnosis — there’s no blood test or scan to confirm it. Why environment and maturity often explain behaviours mistaken for “disorder.” The real risks of misdiagnosis — medication, labelling, and self-perception. Why it’s time to look at what’s happening around kids, not just within them. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: “There isn’t anything wrong with her — she just doesn’t fit the mould of what we consider normal.” RESOURCES MENTIONED: Study: Halloween, ADHD, and Subjectivity in Medical Diagnosis (National Bureau of Economic Research) Searching for Normal by Sami Timimi The Parenting Revolution by Justin Coulson ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Before seeking a diagnosis, consider context — sleep, stress, diet, and school environment. Avoid rushing to label; focus on understanding and supporting your child’s unique needs. Ask questions — about treatment pathways, environment, and alternative perspectives. Create calmer spaces where kids can regulate, play, and thrive. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

'Tis the season for sequel films here on the Couch, and coming off of our discussion of Moana not too long ago, we've got the perfect perspective on its totally-not-planned-to-be-a-TV-series-originally-but-was-then-haphazardly-converted-into-a-feature-film sequel, 2024's Moana 2. It's a tall ask to follow up a film like Moana and while the gang agrees that the story and narrative feel pretty fresh as far as sequels go, there are a few...other issues...with this film that do elicit feelings of "soulless cash grab" in certain moments. A great metric on judging a film's writing quality is how many mini-Writer's Desk segments we can cram into the episode to see just how much more this film could have been compared to what we got. Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language.

This week on the Sinica Podcast, I speak with Jonathan Czin, the Michael H. Armacost Chair in Foreign Policy Studies and a fellow at the Brookings Institution's John L. Thornton China Center. His new essay in Foreign Affairs, “China Against China: Xi Jinping Confronts the Downsides of Success,” challenges the dominant Western narrative of Xi Jinping as either Mao reincarnate or a brittle autocrat presiding over imminent collapse. Instead, Czin argues that Xi's most illiberal reforms can be understood as attempts to cure the pathologies of China's own success. We discuss his framing of Xi's “Counterreformation,” how it helps explain China's current political direction, and what it reveals about our own analytical blind spots in the West.7:15 – Xi's “reformation” and Carl Minzner's “end of reform and opening”12:18 – Corruption, decentralization, and the “lost decade” under Hu and Wen20:12 – Defining “resilience” and what Xi means by “eating bitterness”29:45 – The “downsides of success”: property, corruption, and governance contradictions45:30 – Counter-reformation vs. counterrevolution: what Xi wants to preserve and discard54:20 – The myth of yes-men: triangulation and feedback in Xi's leadership style1:07:07 – Cognitive empathy and why most U.S. analysis of Xi falls short1:15:35 – Systems that can't course-correct: comparing the U.S. and China1:22:05 – Cognitive empathy, ideology, and the problem of American exceptionalismPaying it forward:Jonathan: Allie Mathias and Dinny McMahonRecommendations:Jonathan: The Thirty Years War by C.V.
