Podcasts about fairer

Es ist WM 2026: die Emotionen kochen hoch. Bestimmt auch bald wegen möglicher Fehlentscheidungen von Schiedsrichtern. Viel Technik soll solche Entscheidungen fairer machen. Aber geht das? Ein Podcast mit David Globig.

At the end of March, the UK Government launched an initiative to overhaul the family justice system. Why? The law hasn't kept pace with the realities of modern families, the Government says, leaving many without rights and facing financial hardship. So what does this initiative aim to do? Former president of the family division, Sir Andrew McFarlane explains that its goal is to move away from adversarial hearings to focus on the child and make way for a fairer end to relationships. He and the broadcaster, commentator and family mediator, Joanna Gosling, join us on this week's episode to help us predict the future of family law. Law and Disorder is a Podot podcast.Hosted by: Charlie Falconer, Helena Kennedy, Nicholas Mostyn.Executive Producer and editor: Nick Hilton.Associate Producers: Lulu Goad Hosted on Acast.

We launched our socio-economic review for 2026 on Monday, 27th April 2026. This socio-economic review for 2026 presents ideas and proposals which would enable Ireland to respond to current challenges whilst managing change successfully, with the ambition to achieve a fairer, more just society.  At a time of global turmoil and conflict, Ireland faces the challenge of mitigating the impact of an energy price crisis for vulnerable households and preparing for the potential impact of a prolonged energy shock.  At the same time, Government must address the ongoing problems of how to deliver housing, healthcare and other vital services to everyone including those fleeing war; how to address persistently high levels of poverty and social exclusion; and how to meet our climate targets, adapt to coming changes whilst protecting those most impacted.    In this episode, you can listen back to the presentations from this launch. The full publication is also available to download from our website here.

In dieser Folge gibt es wieder ein besonderes Gast-Special: Papa, Ex-Kita-Leiter, Kinderbuchautor und Familien-Content-Creator Jonas Kozi ist zu Gast bei den Kinderdolmetschern. Gemeinsam mit Journalistin und Mama Jana Altmann und Diplom-Kinderpsychologin Claudia Schwarzlmüller spricht er über moderne Vaterschaft, Elternzeit, Mental Load und die Frage, warum Familie auch heute noch oft ganz anders gelebt wird, als Paare es eigentlich geplant hatten. Warum landen viele Familien nach der Geburt plötzlich in Rollenbildern, die sie vorher nie wollten Und was können Väter tun, um nicht nur körperlich, sondern auch emotional präsent zu sein? Außerdem sprechen wir über ein Thema, das alle Familien früher oder später bewegt: die Kita-Eingewöhnung. Jonas und Claudia sprechen mit ihrer geballten Kita-Expertise darüber: warum Eingewöhnungen so individuell sind was Kinder und deren Begleitpersonen in dieser Zeit wirklich brauchen weshalb Eltern oft unterschätzen, wie sehr ihre eigenen Gefühle die Situation beeinflussen Für alle Mamas. Für alle Papas. Und besonders für alle Familien, die ihren eigenen Weg finden wollen. Viel Spaß bei dieser neuen Folge! Deine Kinderdolmetscher

Autofahren, Tiefkühlessen und Zigaretten – drei Geschäftsmodelle, die auf den ersten Blick wenig mit Wachstumsstory zu tun haben. Und genau deshalb schaut der Markt oft nicht genau genug hin. Tobias Kramer und sein Gast Jonathan Neuscheler nehmen sich in dieser Folge Sixt, Frosta und British American Tobacco vor – drei langjährige Depotpositionen – und prüfen sie entlang der Buffett-Logik: Sind das großartige Unternehmen zu aktuell fairen Preisen? Und wo liegen die Levels, ab denen es richtig interessant wird? Das erwartet Euch: • Sixt: Warum die Aktie trotz strukturellem Wachstum und hoher Eigenkapitalquote mit einem einstelligen KGV gehandelt wird – und was die jüngsten Insiderkäufe der Familie Sixt über 50 Millionen Euro signalisieren könnten • Frosta: Die neue À-la-carte-Produktlinie, zweistelliges Markenwachstum in allen Ländern – und die ungewöhnliche Kommunikationspolitik eines familiengeführten Unternehmens, die man als Aktionär verstehen muss • British American Tobacco: Wie der Umbau zu risikoreduzierten Produkten das Wachstum beschleunigt, warum der Schuldenabbau fast abgeschlossen ist – und was das für Dividende und Rückkäufe bedeutet • Konkrete Kursmarken für faire, preiswerte und günstige Bewertungen – bei allen drei Titeln • Warum Tobias gerade eine erste Sixt-Position aufgebaut hat und wo sein Nachkauflimit liegt Keine Empfehlungen, keine Versprechen – sondern nachvollziehbare Entscheidungslogik mit echtem Geld.

Workers and communities know very well what good jobs – or bad jobs – look like, because they live this reality every day. Yet our labor market and policies are often designed without the input or leadership of workers or the communities they live in. As a result, even well-intentioned efforts to create better working conditions and a more equitable economy can fall short for similar reasons. So what does it look like to have workers and their communities at the helm of job quality strategy and advocacy?This event — hosted on March 5, 2026, by the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program — is the second in its four-part event series on Fixing Work in the South. Drawing on the work of EOP's Job Quality Fellows, this conversation explores what kind of progress is possible when we lean on the expertise of workers and communities to inform strategy and empower them to shape a labor market that works for everyone.Our speakers include Cecilia Behgam (Texas Climate Jobs Project), Kelly Brooks (Civic Works), Maya Ragsdale (Beyond the Bars), Ben Wilkins (Union of Southern Service Workers), and moderator Amanda Fins (The Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program).For more information about this event, including a transcript, speaker bios, and additional resources, visit our website. For highlights from this discussion, subscribe to our YouTube channel.Or subscribe to our podcast to listen on the go.This event is part of our Job Quality in Practice series.

Following Ofsted's consultation on its new inspection framework in early 2025, and its limited rollout later last year, the new framework has been fully in place for school inspections across England since January 2026.Throughout this period, NAHT has consistently challenged the framework and highlighted the risks it poses to school leaders. Working both publicly and behind the scenes, the union has secured several important improvements – but significant concerns remain.In this episode, NAHT general secretary Paul Whiteman discusses the impact of the new inspection framework so far, some of the challenges school leaders are experiencing, and NAHT's ongoing work with Ofsted and the government to secure a fairer, safer system.Find out more about NAHT's campaign on inspection reform.

Getting your coffee tomorrow is not a given. Behind everyday products like coffee, bananas, and cocoa lies a global trading system under pressure. A pressure shaped by climate change, economic uncertainty, and growing inequality. The need to change how we value our food is urgent or we risk our daily coffee, and midmorning snack. Listen in to this podcast episode to hear from Social Impact Pioneer Marike Runneboom de Peña, Interim CEO of Fairtrade International, about why this moment is a turning point for fair trade and global supply chains. From sociologist to co-founder of a banana cooperative with over 200 members in the Dominican Republic, Marike is now the interim leader of Fairtrade International. March 2026 is important for Fairtrade as they launch a new Global Strategy 2026–2028, focusing on three urgent priorities: sustainable livelihoods for farmers and workers; resilient and fair supply chains; and a stronger collective commitment to ethical and sustainable trade. Listen in as, together, we explore: · Why fair trade is more critical than ever in today's volatile global economy · The real challenges farmers face, from low prices and unfair trading practices to climate change · How Fairtrade's new strategy aims to create long-term resilience and equity in global supply chains · What businesses, policymakers, and consumers must do to support fair and sustainable trade In addition, hear from Marike as she shares her personal journey, from working directly with farming communities to stepping into a global leadership role. Learn about motivation, perseverance, and focus. This podcast conversation is grounded in the devastating impacts of an unequal trading system and the resilience of farmers determined to overcome them. This conversation challenges the idea that sustainability is optional. As Marike explains, “Fairer trade is not just a future goal, it's a shared responsibility.” Without meaningful action, we risk a very near future where farming becomes unsustainable, supply chains break down, and essential products disappear from our shelves. If you're interested in sustainability, ethical business, global trade, or the future of food systems, this episode is essential listening. Because when trade doesn't work for farmers and workers, it doesn't work for anyone. www.fairtrade.net Our strategy riskmap.fairtrade.net

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning workplace podcast where behavioural science meets workplace culture. This week, we're diving into the high-stakes world of recruitment. If you've ever hired someone who looked perfect on paper but failed on day one, this episode is for you. Most businesses are making hiring decisions based on fundamentally broken data: the CV. This week, we are joined by Kate Young, Head of People Science at Sapia.ai. As an occupational psychologist, Kate is on a mission to move recruitment away from "gut instinct" and toward a valid, fair, and defensible science. We dive into the "painful" reality of traditional job analysis—like Kate's 6:00 AM flight to Munich to shuffle cards with 30 stakeholders for eight hours—and how AI has condensed that process into 90 minutes of high-precision data. In this episode, we explore: The Job Analysis Revolution: Why "measuring what matters" is the only way to avoid doubling down on hiring errors. The Death of the CV: Why Sapia.ai prefers "blind" chat interviews where every candidate gets an equal shot to tell their story. De-biasing the Process: How to strip "ableist" and majority-group language out of job descriptions to find the best talent. The "Human in the Loop": Why AI isn't replacing psychologists, but rather acting as an amplifier for better, fairer decisions. Candidate Experience: How an automated process can actually achieve a 9/10 satisfaction rate, even for neurodiverse candidates. Key Takeaways for Leaders: Job Analysis is Non-Negotiable: If you don't define what a person actually does all day (the tasks and behaviors), no hiring tool can save you. Standardization = Fairness: Unstructured interviews default to the "loudest voice in the room." Using the same questions for every candidate is the simplest way to reduce bias. No More Ghosting: Using AI at the top of the funnel allows you to provide feedback to every candidate, protecting your employer brand.

Are the Government's proposals radically to reduce a citizen's right to trial by jury a “swift and fair plan to get justice for victims”, as the MoJ press release declared on 2nd December, or a poorly conceived, confused and untested set of measures which will have no real impact on the Crown Court backlog or the general, long term crisis that afflicts our once admired criminal justice system?    What is the explanation for the significant difference between the leaked Lammy memorandum - which revealed a plan to eliminate trial by jury in all cases apart from murder, manslaughter, rape, or other offences meeting a public-interest threshold - and the formal announcement a week later?Cock-up or a deliberate plan designed to smooth the way for the actual proposals?  And will Labour backbenchers rebel in sufficient numbers to defeat the reform plans. To answer these and other questions generated by the furore over the Lammy proposals, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are joined by the current and past Chairs of the Criminal Bar Association, Riel Karmy-Jones KC and Chris Henley KC.   Riel and Chris attack the proposals on the basis that neither the Leveson Report nor the Ministry of Justice have conducted any modelling capable of showing that slashing the right to jury trial will succeed in clearing the backlog, given the multiple other causes of delays in the criminal justice system, both at the pre-charge and post-charge phases. They also address the fact that jury trial is not in truth a “constitutional” right or one guaranteed by the ECHR and they challenge comparisons with Canada and New Zealand which have judge alone trials in serious cases without it being suggested that fair trials are incapable of being delivered. For a further piece by retired Judge Geoffrey Rivlin KC attacking the Lammy and Leveson proposals see this - https://redlionchambers.substack.com/p/juries-and-judges-the-right-to-choose?utm_source=substack&utm_campaign=posts-open-in-app&utm_medium=email&r=4n6tab&triedRedirect=true --    Covering the critical intersections of politics and law in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy.

Australia is failing more than 130,000 people with significant psychosocial disability – despite spending billions every year on the NDIS. This gap is fuelling a growing problem. People without adequate supports are more likely to experience homelessness, be hospitalized, or have their needs escalate, putting pressure on systems that are already under strain. In this podcast, Sam Bennett, Mia Jessurun, and Reilly Polaschek, discuss the latest Grattan report, Bridging the Gap: Meeting the needs of Australians with psychosocial disability. In the report, they outline a plan to build a fairer and more effective system of psychosocial supports.

“We're at an inflection point - fans, sponsors and the next generation are demanding better. Sport has to decide what future it wants.”On today's must listen episode of The Game Changers podcast, pioneering human rights lawyer and Athlead CEO Kat Craig explores how sport can change the world, yet why it too often simply replicates its worst injustices. Kat offers a compelling blueprint from a world-leading voice: how to move from statements to structure and build safer, fairer sport for everyone.Driven by what she calls an “allergic reaction to injustice”, Kat charts her path from frontline human rights legal work to a decade inside the sports system, and explains why she founded AthLead, to turn athlete voice, sport-for-good strategy and rights-based governance into meaningful, lasting culture change.Kat doesn't shy away from hard truths. Sport's centralised power and insularity, she argues, create blind spots that silence those most harmed by discrimination and abuse.We also dive into athlete activism in a polarised era where authenticity matters more than ever, and why better gender balance has the potential to transform sport at every level.Thank you to Sport England who support The Game Changers Podcast with a National Lottery award.Find out more about The Game Changers podcast here: https://www.fearlesswomen.co.uk/thegamechangersHosted by Sue AnstissProduced by Sam Walker, What Goes On MediaA Fearless Women production

I've spent this week in Washington DC where most people seem suspicious and sometimes even downright hostile about the future. Especially the supposedly “abundant” AI future being built in Silicon Valley. So where is this abundance going to come from? Some optimists, like The Great Progression's Peter Leyden, believe there's an emerging coalition of smart technocratic elites who will construct a more efficient state to engineer a new progressive era. That Was The Week's Keith Teare, however, is suspicious of this kind of new New Deal, arguing that reform from above is, by definition, flawed. That's all very well. But then, if the future isn't going to be built by a new kind of smart government, then where's it going to come from? The defiantly anti-top-down Teare believes, without much evidence, that it will somehow percolate up from what he calls “the masses”. I'm not so sure. Do we really want to trust our AI future to a vengeful digital mob?1. The Policy Gap is Real – But No One Knows How to Fill It Keith Teare identifies a critical void: while AI and automation may create unprecedented wealth, there's no coherent framework for ensuring that abundance benefits everyone rather than concentrating in the hands of tech monopolists. Both left and right lack a practical manifesto for this transformation.2. Innovation Will Happen – Distribution Won't Keith Teare argues that technological progress and wealth creation are inevitable, driven by curious entrepreneurs and scientists working through the night. What doesn't happen automatically is the flowering of society or the reallocation of resources. That requires something more than market forces alone.3. Government as Currently Constituted Can't Lead This Transformation Despite Peter Leyden's call for “state capacity,” Teare remains deeply skeptical that bureaucratic governments can play a progressive role. He sees them as enemies of innovation, prone to regulation and rule-making rather than enablement. He prefers Trump's hands-off approach to Democratic regulatory instincts.4. The Bottoms-Up Revolution May Be Inevitable When pressed on alternatives to government action, Keith Teare suggests people power rather than state power will drive change. As AI displaces workers, those made unemployed will demand society provide them a living standard – creating pressure for transformation that could be peaceful (as Marx predicted for wealthy America) or disruptive.5. Some Tech Leaders See Beyond Their Own Pockets Contrary to cynicism about Silicon Valley greed, Keith Teare points to Elon Musk's vision of money becoming irrelevant under true abundance and Sam Altman's WorldCoin project as evidence that at least some technologists can imagine distributing wealth beyond their own fortunes. Whether these visions are “childish fancy” or prophetic remains the debate.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

In episode 148, we talk with our friend Dr. Cara Jacob about why she's stepping up to run for the Ohio State Senate. From property taxes to public schools and healthcare, she shares what's driving her campaign and how she hopes to create a fairer future for all Ohio families.Cara was raised in a small town with a close-knit family who taught her the values of hard work, integrity, and caring for others. Her passion for helping people led her to pursue medicine and ultimately become a neurologist. In that role, she's had the privilege of caring for patients and families from communities across Ohio. She is also a wife and the proud mom of two wonderful children, experiences that have deepened her commitment to building a better future for all families.Beyond her medical career, Cara has been an advocate for policies that expand access to healthcare, strengthen our public schools, protect our democratic process, keep our communities safe, and ensure government works for everyday Ohioans—not just the wealthy and well-connected. That advocacy, coupled with growing concerns over the extreme legislation and corruption coming out of our statehouse, is what inspired her to run for the Ohio State Senate in Senate District 7.She believes we can make Ohio a stronger, fairer place for families by advancing common-sense policies that lift up all Ohioans—ensuring opportunity and dignity for everyone, not just the few at the top.

Australia's strata system was once a clever solution to urban living — a way to share land, lift homeownership, and build communities in growing cities. But decades later, that same framework is struggling to keep up with modern life.What once worked for small, low-rise communities now governs the high-density towers that house millions of Australians. The result? Costs have climbed, decision-making has grown more complex, and owners often find themselves footing bills for problems they didn't createIn this episode, Prof. Cathy Sherry — Professor at Macquarie Law School and Executive Member of Smart Green Cities — explains how Australia's outdated strata laws are now out of step with the country's housing and sustainability goals. A leading international expert in land law and high-density development, Prof. Sherry unpacks how laws written in the 1960s for small walk-ups can't handle the complexity of modern cities, locking owners into costly contracts, rising levies, and embedded energy networks that limit both choice and progress.From the hidden costs buried in off-the-plan sales to the barriers stopping apartments from going solar, Cathy reveals how a system designed to help Australians share space has instead made it harder to live well, live green, and live fairly.Listen now to learn why reforming strata isn't just a legal fix — it's key to building a fairer, more sustainable housing future for everyone.Episode Highlights00:00 – Introduction01:16 — Meet Prof. Cathy Sherry: Australia's Leading Expert on Strata Law01:50 — How Shared Living Became Complex: The Challenge of Strata Ownership03:15 — Strata Levies, Legal Layers, and Why Collective Ownership Is Tricky06:37 — The Hidden Dangers of Buying Off-the-Plan Apartments in Australia11:09 — Embedded Networks Explained: The Hidden Costs of Strata Energy Deals20:18 — Can the Law Catch Up?

In this episode, the filial impiety finale of our Sancho September, we zoom in on the second half of Don Quixote, including the boldly blasphemous, bodaciously blood-drenched, bad-hair-day blonde big sister Manager of La Manchaland Don Quixote, who is somehow sad despite having a very cool lance, and ask a question that's a matter of degrees: Why isn't she straight? No I don't mean in her personal preferences, I mean like, you know, orthagonally?

This June the US Environmental Protection Agency proposed eliminating regulations that limit climate changing gases from power plants, about a quarter of US emissions. Harvard Law Professor Richard Lazarus speaks about the perils of the broader Trump administration effort to weaken federal environmental protections. Also, the ugly truth of plastic is that the world produces over 400 million metric tons each year and recycles less than ten percent of it. But artist Erik Jon Olson is transforming unsightly plastic waste into beautiful, quilted works of art which are popping up in galleries and exhibitions across the United States. He shares the meaning and method behind his whimsical and striking artwork. And in his recent book Just Earth: How a Fairer World Will Save the Planet, Tony Juniper explores how tackling economic inequality within and between countries will go far to solve the climate and biodiversity crises. Tony Juniper has long advised King Charles III on the environment and climate and now chairs Natural England. He discusses the transformation that's urgently needed to allow planet and people to thrive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are Women Still the Fairer Sex?: Combat Dating Handbook For Men by JT Larough Amazon.com Laroughwrites.com Tired of mixed signals, ghosting, and dating chaos? You're not alone—and you're not crazy. The rules of dating have changed. The problem? Most men are still playing by the old playbook—be nice, be supportive, be available—and wondering why it never works. In a world of emotional games, swiping addictions, hookup culture, and disappearing long-term relationships, doing “what you're supposed to do” just doesn't cut it anymore. Are Women Still The Fairer Sex? is a no-BS, boots-on-the-ground combat manual for men trying to navigate the modern dating battlefield without losing their masculinity—or their minds. Whether you're newly single, frustrated by flaking and mixed signals, or just looking for clarity in the chaos, this book gives you the real-world strategies to win the long game. Think of it like the older brother you never had—straight talk, tough love, and hard-earned wisdom from a guy who's been through the trenches. You'll learn: Why the sexiest women are often the least interested in sex (and what that means for long-term intimacy) How hookup culture and hyper-independence shifted female psychology—and why men are losing ground What hypergamy really is (hint: it's not just about money or status) How to recognize emotional manipulation, attention addiction, and red flags before you get invested Why “nice guys” finish last—and how to fix it without becoming a jerk The power of stoicism, emotional self-discipline, and mastering your own frame How to rebuild after breakups, stop simping, and never get blindsided again Why dating abroad may help you—but won't save you unless you're already solid at home This book blends psychology, cultural insight, and modern masculinity to give men a complete game plan—from the first DM to the long-term relationship you actually want. It's not about tricks or pick-up lines. It's about becoming the kind of man who leads, vets, and builds—not the one who waits to be chosen. If you're done being confused, frustrated, or disrespected—and you're ready to take ownership of your dating life—this book is your starting point. Become the man who never begs for her attention—because he commands respect. Learn the rules. Upgrade yourself. Win the long game.

In January, the Indian government published a new critical minerals strategy that details how the country aims to bolster supply chains necessary for its green energy transition. While the report underscores the importance of developing domestic supplies of lithium and other transition resources, it also calls for closer international partnerships, particularly with mineral-rich African nations. India has deep ties in Africa, particularly in eastern and southern countries on the continent, but it is a newcomer to the critical resources sector that is largely dominated by Chinese and European companies. Veda Vaidyanathan, an accomplished China-Africa scholar and an associate fellow at the Centre for Social and Economic Progress in New Delhi, joins Eric & Géraud to explain how India's approach to critical resource mining in Africa is going to look very different from what China is doing.
