Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Childcare Conversations, Carrie and Kate dive into a really fascinating topic: the role of keynote speakers at early childhood education conferences. They chat about how the term "keynote" has gotten a bit watered down lately, with some conferences featuring multiple keynotes that blur into workshops. They also uncover a surprising stat: despite the ECE workforce being 98% female, most keynote speakers have historically been men! Their big takeaway? A great keynote should inspire, connect emotionally, and truly reflect the audience it serves.Thanks for Listening

Ece Temelkuran (fascism expert, political exile, journalist) first began reporting on the global slide into fascism as a journalist witnessing it happen in her home country, Turkey. In 2016, she was forced into exile and went on to write the bestselling book How to Lose a Country: The 7 Steps From Democracy to Authoritarianism that warned the rest of the world just how close it was to the same perilous descent. In her new book, Nation of Strangers, Rebuilding Home in the 21st Century, Ece argues we are entering “an age of survival” and that we are all about to become exiles of sorts, “unhomed” from our sense of belonging to the world as authoritarianism rips us from our sense of collective meaning as humans. Pivoting her focus to how we can best move through this moment, she says we need to turn to those who've already been exiled (the immigrants, the refugees, the victims of fascism) to learn how to rebuild our “what comes next”.This is a fascinating thesis and Ece, who lives nomadically between Berlin and Greece, gives us a very raw and vulnerable take on it.About EceEce Temelkuran is an award-winning Turkish novelist, political thinker, and public speaker. Her work has appeared in publications including The Guardian, The New York Times, Le Monde, El País, New Statesman, and Der Spiegel.Show Notes Get your copy of How to Lose a Country: The 7 Steps From Democracy to Authoritarianism and Nation of Strangers, Rebuilding Home in the 21st CenturyYou can connect with Ece on Instagram here and on X here.--Watch on YouTube or SubstackIf you need to know a bit more about me… head to my "about" pageFor more such conversations, subscribe to my Substack newsletter, it's where I interact the most!Let's connect on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

Reviews and reports aren't enough to keep the early childhood sector up to scratch. The Education Review Office has found almost half of ECE services don't meet the quality threshold, down from 64% a year earlier. Advocates for Early Learning Excellence Chair Kelly Seaburg told Mike Hosking although the results are better, it also highlights things to work on. She says there needs to be a stronger systemic approach to lifting professional development and leadership. Seaburg also says there needs to be more than just reviews to better the sector. She says at the end of the day, there's no real teeth to these reports, and we can't leave children's education to chance. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Early childhood centres are lifting their game, with fewer falling below quality standards. Education Review Office monitoring shows 47% of standalone services didn't meet the quality threshold, down from 64% a year earlier. Early Childhood Council Chief Executive Simon Laube says the reviews are just snapshots and even the best centres go through staff changes and have to rebuild quality. He told Ryan Bridge that the reviews are sensitive, so anything that's slightly out of place will appear on the review, and pretty much everyone will have something.

Audiovisual ➡️ fanlink.tv/Y0UTUBE Tracklisting ➡️ https://bit.ly/4c18TDA For this episode, Ece Yilmaz chooses the Mezcal Margarita — a bold and vibrant cocktail that perfectly reflects the spirit of her mix. Just like the smoky agave base lifted by fresh lime and a subtle salted edge, this set is packed with high energy, uplifting moments, and irresistible groove. Funky rhythms, driving basslines, and vibrant melodic touches flow effortlessly together, creating a refreshing yet powerful journey. It's a mix that feels bright and punchy while maintaining depth — much like a well-balanced Mezcal Margarita that delivers both intensity and smoothness in every sip. Emerging from Türkiye's dynamic electronic music scene, Ece has built her reputation with sets that blend Afro House rhythms, House and Tech House grooves, and melodic atmospheres. Since starting at 19, she has played prestigious stages and shared lineups with artists like Lexer, Stephan Jolk, Chris IDH, Sasson, Franc Fala, and Kitty Amor, continuously refining her sound. Her productions on labels such as Get Physical, We're Here, Sudam, Rikodisco, and Cafe De Anatolia reflect that same layered approach. Like a well-balanced Mezcal Margarita, this mix is smoky, vibrant, and full of character — refreshing, energetic, and crafted to linger long after the last sip. Cheers!

Warning: moderate strong languageEce Temelkaran is an award-winning journalist and novelist who has spent years warning that the collapse of democracy rarely announces itself with a bang. Instead, it happens gradually - institution is weaken, truth is eroded and what once felt unthinkable becomes normal. Ece knows this first hand. After being fired from her newspaper in Turkey amid mounting political pressure, she watched her country slide towards what she says is authoritarianism, a story she believes is no longer uniquely Turkish but part of a wider global pattern. In her writing, she argues that the real danger isn't just strong men or populist leaders, but how easily societies adapt to them. Her latest book, Nation of Strangers, explores belonging and exile. But beneath it lies the same urgent question that has defined much of her work. How do democracies fail? And can they still be saved? On this episode of Ways to Change the World, Krishnan Guru-Murthy speaks to Ece about democratic backsliding, the moral crisis she believes sits at the heart of modern politics, the experience of exile, and why rebuilding democracy may require not just political change, but a deeper transformation in how we see ourselves and each other.This interview was recorded on 13 February 2026.

In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Lea Austin, former Executive Director of the Center for the Study of Child Care Employment at UC-Berkeley, reflects on her 25-year career in ECE. In discussing lessons learned and persistent challenges facing the field, Lea examines how ECE workforce development both shapes — and is shaped by — the public workforce system in the United States.

More early childhood education centres are expected to fold under rising costs. The Household Economic Survey shows the average weekly ECE fee has jumped from $25 in 2007, to $90 in 2023. Early Childhood Council CEO Simon Laube says pay parity rules have driven 443 centres to shut in the past three years. He says it drives up teacher salaries. "But the funding from the Government doesn't follow suit, so as the salaries increase, the providers are paying more and more to pay the teachers - but the funding stays the same."
