Matt Winning reflects on climate fatigue, corporate engagement, and what risk professionals can learn from the art of communicating difficult topics.   Climate change is often communicated through data, models, targets and warnings. But as important as those tools are, they do not always reach people emotionally, or bring them into the conversation in a way that feels human.   That raises an interesting question: can comedy help? Not by making light of the problem, but by making it more accessible, cutting through jargon, and creating space for people to engage with a subject that can otherwise feel overwhelming.  That's why today's episode will explore:  How comedy can act as a gateway for people who might not otherwise engage with climate change;   Why better communication matters for firms trying to build climate awareness and engagement across their teams;   And what risk professionals can learn from comedy about clarity, honesty and staying true to their convictions.   ----------------   To find out more about the Sustainability and Climate Risk (SCR®) Certificate, follow this link: https://www.garp.org/scr  For more information on climate risk, visit GARP's Global Sustainability and Climate Risk Resource Centre: https://www.garp.org/sustainability-climate  If you have any questions, thoughts, or feedback regarding this podcast series, we would love to hear from you at: climateriskpodcast@garp.com   ------------------ Today's Speaker Dr. Matt Winning is a stand-up comedian and Lecturer in Economics of Sustainability at the UCL Institute for Sustainable Resources. Matt previously served as Head of Climate Research at Oxford Economics and has spent more than a decade researching climate policy, energy transitions, climate finance and sustainability.   He is also one of the world's leading climate comedians.  He wrote the book Hot Mess: What on Earth Can We Do About Climate Change? and has performed many climate-focused comedy shows, including at COP28 and the Edinburgh Fringe, as well as appearing on many BBC radio and television programmes. Combining academic expertise with humour, Matt focuses on helping audiences engage with climate change in ways that are accessible, informative and entertaining.

Daniel Sloss rolls into Steph Infection still recovering from American bar pours, turns out 5 gin and tonics in the US is not the same as 5 gin and tonics in Scotland, and he has learned this the hard way. Steph and Daniel bond hard over Highland dancing (for real), Scottish country dancing as a pickup culture, having a best bitch at your wedding, and why the Edinburgh Fringe would absolutely lose its mind if Steph showed up. Then it gets real as Daniel walks through both of his kids' births in full detail, including his wife losing 1.5 liters of blood, a stuck placenta, an hour and a half alone with a newborn not knowing if his wife was alive, and his wife shockingly coming back into the room like "let's have two more." He has not forgiven her.

Known to millions as Mrs. Moneypenny from her 16 year Financial Times column, Heather has been an investment banker, executive search entrepreneur, Edinburgh Fringe performer, off Broadway actress, PhD holder, chartered accountant and now Provost of Heriot-Watt University Dubai, overseeing 5,500 students and 600 staff. She qualified as a chartered accountant three weeks before her 60th birthday. She borrowed £1.8 million personally to buy a business, then gifted it to her staff. She co-founded the 30% Club when women held just 12% of FTSE board seats. It is now 45%.  This conversation covers all of it. Why she rejects guilt and regret as wasted emotions. What structural barriers actually stop women from getting ahead and how to dismantle them. Why Dubai's greatest advantage is not the skyline but the connectivity and free movement of capital and labour that Europe has quietly forgotten. And what she really thinks about the value of a university degree.  Heather also shares the story behind the Taylor Bennett Foundation, built to help Black and minority ethnic graduates break into professional services, funded from her own dividends, and the moment she knew it was working.    Timestamps:  0:00 Four failed engagements, a baby to feel anchored, and the unvarnished truth about having children  5:30 The queen of reinvention: why preparation meets opportunity and how Heather built her career in layers  7:11 Her one regret: not qualifying as an accountant sooner and why she finally did it at 59  11:19 Dubai versus Singapore versus Hong Kong: what makes this city different from every other global hub  15:46 Living through the missile attacks, what inflation and food security really look like from the inside, and who has barely noticed  21:18 Structural barriers, the 30% Club, and why three women in a room of ten changes everything  27:01 Borrowing £1.8 million, building Taylor Bennett, and then giving it all away  33:49 Mrs. Moneypenny: 16 years, 800 columns, and the barometer story that almost ended her career  39:25 The Taylor Bennett Foundation and why she measures success by impact not money  43:44 Selling out Edinburgh Fringe and performing off Broadway: the chapter nobody expected  52:22 Heriot-Watt Dubai: why they only teach subjects that lead to jobs and what universities are actually for  59:06 Entrepreneurship, incubators and why she finds young people today far more ambitious than her generation  1:01:24 Why she hates the word networking and what building social capital actually means  1:04:09 Quickfire: the best way into investment banking, what every future leader needs, and what Dubai understands that Europe has forgotten    Follow Spencer Lodge on Social Media  https://www.instagram.com/madeindubaipodcast/?hl=en  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586194260076  https://www.instagram.com/spencer.lodge/?hl=en  https://www.tiktok.com/@spencer.lodge  https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerlodge/  https://www.youtube.com/c/SpencerLodgeTV  https://www.facebook.com/spencerlodgeofficial/

Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2025 on Saturday 18 October at Church House and the Abbey Centre, Westminster. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION From Yes Minister to The Thick of It, the political class has always been a go-to topic for comedians and satirists. But in a world in which political developments have become so extreme and self-satirising, is it still so easy to find laughs in the corridors of power? Regardless, politics seems to impact on how we assess comedy too. When British comedian Sam Nicoresti became the first transgender person to win the £10,000 award for Best Comedy Show at the Edinburgh Fringe, some questioned if this was more political virtue-signalling than an assessment of comedic brilliance. Nicoresti's statement added fuel to this disquiet: ‘I did this for the queers making weird art, and it's a privilege to share this moment with the first all-female line-up of award winners.' Mixing comedy and politics can be a double-edged sword. In an era of identity politics and offence culture, irreverence about political orthodoxies often collides with everything from hate-speech laws to cultural taboos, leading to cancelled shows, boycotts or social media storms. Ricky Gervais's infamous monologues mocking ‘woke' culture regularly draw ire from celebrities and media, even if loved by millions. While humour can critique politicians effectively, be an edgy way of holding power to account and even spark public debate by saying the unsayable in an engaging way, what happens if comedy itself becomes politically partisan? After all, alternative comedy's embrace of progressive, right-on, liberal orthodoxies has arguably become a ubiquitous way of squeezing out dissenting comic voices. What happens if anti-woke comedians stop making good jokes and simply ‘sing to the choir'? With the stakes seemingly higher than ever, and comedians taking robust political stances of their own, does comedy risk become simply another form of propaganda? SPEAKERS Steve N Allen broadcaster and comedian Nicholas De Santo comedian; TV journalist and commentator Leo Kearse comedian; writer, Breaking The News, Mock The Week and The Mash Report; co-creator, Hate 'n' Live Intel Lady satirist, performer CHAIR Andrew Doyle writer and comedian; author, The End of Woke: How the Culture War Went Too Far and What to Expect from the Counter-Revolution and The New Puritans

"Thank you very much..." Ask Elvis was one of the most popular features on one of the most popular radio shows - Steve Wright in the Afternoon on BBC Radio 2. Running from about 2005-14, a mystery voice brought back the omniscient Elvis to solve listeners' ailments, questions on quantum physics, advanced cookery, language issues... It was Encyclopaedia Brittanica meets the King. Well, mystery no longer, as comedian and musician Mitch Benn lifts the quiff and the sunglasses to reveal the true identity behind Ask Elvis, readying for an Edinburgh Fringe show (and previews across the country through June and July) called Asking Elvis, with tales, revelations and re-enactments of those halcyon days when Elvis knew all. In this extensive chat, we also look at Mitch's time on The Now Show and his involvement with The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And your host Paul on his medical ups and downs - a stroke - that's delayed some of the research, but not for long. We're back in our 1920s timeline soon, or perhaps next time there'll be other events you can go to this year, from The Archers Live at 75 with Angela Barnes, to Prof John Wyver's early television conference in July, to Paul Kerensa's An Evening of (Very) Old Radio hitting Weston-super-Mare and other places. Links in the shownotes to these and more - do browse, Now is a better time than usual to join our Patreon page. Why better? Well better for this podcast! Post-stroke, Paul's had to cancel  a lot of live events - the bread-and-butter of his work. One thing he can switch to is this podcast. So if you're on the fence about joining for £5/month, you'll help fund future episodes and keep Paul from having to retrain as a stick insect keeper (or something). Link in notes below - do consider joining us, and writings/videos/warmy fuzzy feeling of supporting this podcast and its research will all be yours! And go and see Mitch this June-August 2026...   SHOWNOTES: Original podcast music is by Will Farmer.  Mitch Benn's show is Asking Elvis. Details of where/when and how to submit a question to Elvis on Mitch's website: https://www.mitchbenn.com/asking-elvis We don't include Ask Elvis clips, as it's the BBC's and it's recent.

Comedian, actor and writer Dawn French is best known as one half of one of the UK's most successful comedy double acts, and as the fictional vicar Geraldine Granger. She's also a bestselling author, and her latest book, Enough, is her fifth novel — her eighth book in total. It blends dark humour with some tougher themes she thinks are important to explore. She joined Nuala to discuss.Best known as the co-founder of Reddit, Alexis Ohanian is now turning his focus to the future of women's sport. Once overlooked and underfunded, it is now undergoing rapid change. Alexis is today announcing he's bringing his all-female track and field meet series, Athlos, to London. He tells Anita Rani why, and talks about being married to one of the most successful and well known sports stars of all time - Serena Williams.We discuss a new play that unfolds entirely in the ladies loos. April Hope Miller wrote and performs in ‘Flush', it was a hit at the Edinburgh Fringe and it's just opened at the Arcola Theatre in London. April and co-star Jazz Jenkins tell Nuala why the real drama on any night out is always to be found in the women's toilets. And why it took an ensemble cast of five, playing no less 16 different characters between them, to capture something universal about women's lives.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Annette Wells

We caught up with Tom from a remote shack in northern Norway, where he is currently midway through *Threshold – A Wild New Border Journey*: a 600km ultra-slow expedition by ski, sled, foot and boat across the Arctic borderlands of Norway, Finland and Sweden. Beginning on 10 March 2026 at Barents Spektakel, the two-month journey travels westwards through the Russia–Finland–Norway border region before concluding at Stamsund International Theatre Festival in the Lofoten Islands in May 2026. Along the way, Tom is meeting local communities, artists and researchers to document the lived realities of life in a fast-changing Arctic — with a new performance piece set to premiere in 2027. Threshold builds on a body of work that has consistently used endurance and landscape as artistic material. In 2024 Tom walked 1,000 kilometres solo as a tribute to lost species, research that fed directly into *Wild Thing!* — his most recent Edinburgh Fringe production, in which he attempts to embody 48,000 endangered species. Supported by Arts Council England, Arts Council Norway and the Danish Arts Foundation, his practice remains one of the most distinctive and committed voices in ecological theatre.Tom Bailey is our guest in episode 586 of My Time Capsule and he chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things he'd like to put in a time capsule; four he'd like to preserve and one he'd like to bury and never have to think about again .To find out more about Tom's theatre visit - https://mechanimal.co.uk .Follow Tom Bailey's theatre company on Instagram: @_mechanimal_ .Visit our website! - https://mytimecapsulepodcast.com .Follow My Time Capsule on Instagram: @mytimecapsulepodcast & Twitter/X & Facebook: @MyTCpod .Follow Michael Fenton Stevens on Twitter/X: @fentonstevens & Instagram @mikefentonstevens .Produced and edited by John Fenton-Stevens for Cast Off Productions .Music by Pass The Peas Music .Artwork by matthewboxall.com .This podcast is proud to be associated with the charity Viva!

Must-Watch Moments: 1. Francis Foster's poignant words about Triggernometry co-host Konstantin Kisin (49:50). 2. The harrowing story of a kid who 'died like a fish' (1:05:00) - the brutal reality of ideological 'utopias'. --- Support my sponsor: go to https://surfshark.com/heretics for 4 extra months of Surfshark *AD. Francis Foster (Triggernometry) reveals the shocking reality of what is actually happening behind closed doors in British classrooms. From teachers forced into hiding to the "trip wires" that make certain topics - like Islam and biological reality - completely forbidden, Francis explains why he finally had to walk away.

As Francis says of the system's impact: "He died like a fish." In this video, we cover: - The forbidden list: What teachers aren't allowed to say in the UK. - The Batley Grammar School case and why that teacher is still in hiding. - Why the British education system is failing both teachers and students. - The "gaslighting" of the UK public regarding race and identity. - Francis's personal journey from the classroom to co-founding Triggernometry. - Support the Heretics mission: If you believe in open conversation and pushing back against the "crazies," please subscribe and hit the bell icon. #Heretics #FrancisFoster #Triggernometry #BritishEducation #FreeSpeech #AndrewGold  Join the 30k heretics on my mailing list: https://andrewgoldheretics.com  Check out my new documentary channel: https://youtube.com/@andrewgoldinvestigates  Andrew on X: https://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_ok Heretics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldheretics Chapters:  00:00 Francis Foster: From the classroom to Triggernometry  02:18 Why the British education system is failing  06:00 The Batley Grammar School scandal: A teacher in hiding  08:44 Are we giving up on free speech?  11:54 The return of Blasphemy Laws in the UK  13:49 Synagogues attacked: The silence is terrifying  15:53 Why the average person is being gaslit  19:48 Jewish comedians banned at Edinburgh Fringe  24:32 The responsibility of a 2M+ subscriber platform  27:10 Are we the new "mainstream"?  31:30 Hijacking identities: The truth about "The Crazies"  34:57 How publishers tried to bury my book  41:40 The "Liberal Arts" fear: Why writers are terrified  45:26 Biological Reality: What's happening in US schools?  49:56 8 years with Konstantin Kisin on Triggernometry 53:36 The lonely reality of being a solo creator  56:22 Nickelback, Beckham, and the psychology of hate  1:00:00 Teaching the British Empire: What the syllabus hides  1:03:10 Why we don't teach the horrors of Communism  1:05:07 Witnessing the fall of Venezuela: A warning for the West Learn more about your ad choices.

Two women have told a BBC Panorama investigation they were raped during the filming of one of Channel 4's biggest shows, Married at First Sight UK, while a third has described an allegation of a non-consensual sex act. Channel 4 has now removed all episodes of the programme from its streaming and linear services and commissioned an external review of welfare on the show. The programme makers CPL have said its welfare system was ‘gold standard'. Nuala McGovern is joined by BBC News' Lizo Mzimba and Helen Wood, Professor of Media and Cultural Studies at the University of Aston in Birmingham.Many women live with fibromyalgia for life - chronic pain, exhaustion, brain fog - with no clear cure. But some doctors say that for women with breast implants, the story may be different. Rheumatology Professor Jan Willem Cohen Tervaer from the University of Alberta explains why some patients improve after their implants are removed, and why he believes the condition of Breast Implant Illness deserves recognition from the medical community. Nuala is also joined by Professor Lynda Wyld, President Elect of the Association of Breast Surgeons in the UK to explain the position currently held by the medical profession in the UK. We discuss a new play that unfolds entirely in the ladies loos. April Hope Miller wrote and performs in ‘Flush', it was a hit at the Edinburgh Fringe and it's just opened at the Arcola Theatre in London. April and co-star Jazz Jenkins tell Nuala why the real drama on any night out is always to be found in the women's toilets. And why it took an ensemble cast of five, playing no less 16 different characters between them, to capture something universal about women's lives.School closures in England may be disproportionately affecting children with special educational needs and disabilities. File on Four Investigates has been looking into this in the run up to government reforms of the SEND system, and Nuala is joined by BBC education reporter and former primary school teacher Hayley Clarke. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Helen Fitzhenry

This is a preview of a bonus episode from the Patreon feed, TIYA After Dark! Head to patreon.com/thisisyourafterlife to hear this full episode and all the others for just $5 a month.You can also purchase just this standalone episode for $3 here: patreon.com/posts/nasty-squeezes-158644003Sarah Knittel is a clown, actor, producer, deviser, previous TIYA guest, my close friend, a comrade-in-arms when it comes to DIY solo performance, and one of the people I consult most often on creative process questions. Her show Nightmare Fuel, which she brought to the Edinburgh Fringe the first year I went before we'd even met, includes a concept called "nasty squeezes." A nasty squeeze may contain elements of pubescent longing, anticipation, danger, sexual fantasy, and joie de vivre. Yet it's more than any one of those things, and there's no set formula. It's a fecund topic, and I've thought for a while it would make for a great podcast.So here it is, episode 00001 of Nasty Squeezes, in which Sarah explains the genesis of the phrase, we struggle to define the concept succinctly, and we lay the groundwork for future episodes of Nasty Squeezes. This was a blast to do, so if you like it, let us know! We'd love to do more under the umbrella of TIYA After Dark for now, but we've got nothing set in stone.We talk about: getting your tit touched, Mark Hoppus, cautionary tales (DO NOT DO THESE THINGS WE ARE DESCRIBING), Hard Copy, Jerry Springer, no-ring wrestling, Yahoo! checkers.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeFollow Sarah:https://www.instagram.com/sarahkmonster/Follow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

Plus, Mike and Nish discuss different kinds of heckling, and why Nish's voice caused an audience member's Apple watch to call an ambulance.
