Today we're chatting with Ivana Perbi, founder of Wardrobe Affaire, the world's first discovery platform dedicated to pre-loved fashion events, which is on a mission to help secondhand event organizers seamlessly host fashion experiences and help shoppers discover them – all over the world. Ivana grew up in southern Germany, where secondhand wasn't a trend but simply how her family shopped, and where weekends at the flea market where her mother sold clothes shaped her eye for style. After a decade working inside luxury fashion houses like Louis Vuitton and Chanel, a research trip back to her birthplace of Accra, Ghana — and a visit to the sprawling Kantamanto secondhand market — changed everything for her. Ivana left the corporate world, retrained as a UX designer, and launched a fashion rental platform in Berlin.  But after three years of testing, and some incredibly successful event pop-ups, she recognized a much bigger opportunity and pivoted Wardrobe Affaire into what it is today: a platform built to solve the real logistical headaches of hosting and discovering pre-loved fashion events. We're getting into it all — the pivot from rental to events, and her favorite vintage finds, including the vintage Chanel she found for a steal at a Berlin flea market!  Let's dive right in!

For some 50 years, Leo Sarkisian was a worldwide staple on the overseas radio broadcast of Voice of America. A talented musician, raised in the Armenian community around Boston, Leo began traveling the world with his Nagra tape recorder and microphones for Tempo International, a Hollywood record label. His intrepid work in remote corners of Afghanistan and in newly independent Ghana and Guinea won him the attention of Edward R. Murrow, then at VOA. So began Leo's epic career as a documenter, archivist and popularizer of African music. He once said he had worked in every African country but one. In recognition of his passing in June, 2018, we revisit Leo's rich, fascinating conversation and music-sharing session with our own Georges Collinet. Expect lively exchanges between two radio icons, and some rare audio, including Leo's 1965 recording of Fela Kuti during his jazz years. Produced by Sean Barlow and Banning Eyre APWW #783

By the end of this century, half of the world's 7,000 languages could be gone. On this episode of Unpacked, host Aislyn Greene hands the mic to travel writer Lucy Kehoe for a conversation about saving language with journalist Sophia Smith Galer, author of the new book How to Kill a Language. For Sophia, saving language is personal: her Italian grandmother spoke Emilian, one of Italy's Indigenous tongues, and it's quietly slipping away. To understand what we lose when a language dies, Sophia traveled from the mountains of Oman to the hills of California, seeking out endangered languages and the communities fighting—or grieving—for them. She and Lucy get into why these languages matter to every traveler, how language and landscape are woven together, and what it means to travel thoughtfully to a place whose language is at risk—beyond learning a few phrases. It's a conversation about treating language as part of the culture we come to experience, and about meeting it with curiosity and respect rather than as something quaint. THIS WEEK'S GUESTS Sophia Smith Galer is an award-winning journalist and author whose new book, How to Kill a Language, traces the forces—colonialism, globalization, migration, and war—pushing thousands of the world's languages toward extinction. Multilingual in English, Spanish, Italian, and Arabic, she reported it across California, Oman, Ghana, Ecuador, Italy, and Greece, meeting speakers of critically endangered languages in person to capture not only their words but their connection to a place. Lucy Kehoe is a London-based journalist who covers travel, food, and the environment, with a particular interest in how people relate to landscape and place. IN THIS EPISODE The statistic that stopped us cold: by 2100, up to half of the world's 7,000 languages could vanish, and the rate of loss is expected to triple over the next 40 years Why a language is far more than a way to order coffee—Sophia's case that it holds the past, present, and future of a people connected to a place, from Oman's Jibbali (with distinct words for animal versus human shelter) to a California tribe down to 12 adult speakers What it really asks of travelers: not memorizing phrases, but bringing respect and dignity to an endangered language, and asking who profits from "language tourism" and whether speaker communities are truly part of it Where to find language on the road—Planet Word in Washington, D.C., the Armenian alphabet monument outside Yerevan, a Ukrainian language tour in Kyiv, and Oman's frankincense heritage experience The range of feelings Sophia found among speakers themselves—pride, determination, and quiet resignation—and why she believes the fate of each endangered language belongs to its own community to decide 00:00:00 A Grandmother's Vanishing Tongue 00:04:00 Why Endangered Languages Matters 00:06:00 Words Shaped by Place 00:10:00 Tourism Done Respectfully 00:16:00 California's Last Speakers 00:24:00 Ladino, Museums, and Hope LINKS & RESOURCES How to Kill a Language by Sophia Smith Galer — buy on Bookshop Sophia Smith Galer's website Lucy Kehoe's website Planet Word, the language museum in Washington, D.C.

In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we begin a journey into one of the darkest and most overlooked chapters of the 20th century: the establishment of neocolonialism in Africa after the formal end of European empires.After the Second World War, the dreams of a genuinely independent Africa – of nations free from exploitation, able to chart their own futures – were mercilessly snuffed out by Western powers. Drawing on Susan Williams's brilliant White Malice: The CIA and the Neocolonialisation of Africa, we explore the relationship between Ghana and Congo, and the forces that destroyed the hopes of the independence era.We begin with the brutal history of King Leopold II's Congo Free State – a territory nearly 80 times the size of Belgium, where an estimated 10 million Congolese people died as a consequence of forced labour, mutilation, and murder. The purpose of Belgian rule, as Kwame Nkrumah observed, was not to suppress slavery but to change its nature, to make it more profitable.But the exploitation did not end with formal decolonisation. The Congo's Shinkolobwe mine produced uranium of unparalleled richness – up to 75% uranium oxide, compared to ores from America that contained just 0.2%. This uranium was essential to the Manhattan Project, powering the atomic bombs that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After the war, the resource extraction continued, but through new means: corporate infiltration, debt, coups, and the tools of the Bretton Woods system.We trace the origins of American intelligence operations in Africa, from the OSS bases in Accra, Cape Town, and Addis Ababa, to the top-secret mission to protect Congolese uranium from falling into enemy hands. And we consider the broader tragedy of neocolonialism – how the West used every tool at its disposal to ensure that Africa's resources remained under its control, long after the flags of empire had been lowered.Topics covered:The Belgian Congo and the crimes of King Leopold IIThe forced labour system and the rubber tradeThe Shinkolobwe uranium mineThe Manhattan Project and the atomic bombThe OSS and early US intelligence in AfricaKwame Nkrumah and Pan-AfricanismThe tools of neocolonialism: debt, coups, and corporate powerThe continuing relevance of resource exploitation todaySusan Williams's White Malice is available from all good bookshops.

Europe rose 33% to 450,000 and other markets 97% to 280,000, while North America fell 27% to 140,000 as the US decline widened beyond 30%.ULTIUM CELLS TO RESTART OHIO OUTPUTUltium Cells restarts battery-cell production next week at its Warren, Ohio plant after a seven-month shutdown blamed on falling EV demand and the cancelled $7,500 federal tax credit. The GM–LG joint venture site makes large-format NCMA pouch cells with over 45GWh annual capacity for nearly all GM EVs, and expects headcount to reach 1,400 after cutting roughly 1,330 jobs at closure.VOLKSWAGEN OPENS ID.3 NEO UK ORDERSVolkswagen opened UK orders for the ID.3 Neo on 13 August 2026 from £33,080, or £31,580 after the Government's £1,500 Electric Car Grant, with 50, 58 and 79 kWh batteries giving up to 390 miles and DC charging from 100 kW to 183 kW. The revised hatchback gains new LED headlights, an illuminated badge, the return of physical buttons and rotary controls, a new Innovision system with an in-car app shop, and a 3.6 kW V2L adapter.TESLA PLANS 124-STALL SUPERCHARGER IN SOUTHERN SAN FRANCISCOTesla filed plans on 26 May 2026 for a 124-stall Supercharger at 75 Waterloo Street in southern San Francisco, one of the largest globally and unusual for sitting inside a city rather than beside a highway. The site draws entirely from the grid with no solar canopies or Megapack storage, and includes a 416-square-foot building with two restrooms, vending machines and water fountains open 24 hours.CHARGING FAILURES HIT SIX-YEAR LOWPublic charging failures fell to 12% in the second quarter from 14% a year earlier and 19% in 2023 and 2024, the lowest in the six-year history of JD Power's study, which credited faster chargers and larger destination-style sites. Ionna led DC fast-charger satisfaction on 807 out of 1,000, ahead of Mercedes-Benz on 797, Rivian on 755 and Tesla on 701, against a segment average of 666.CHINESE CAR MAKERS BUILD IN AFRICAChinese car makers are opening African factories to absorb domestic overcapacity and sidestep European and North American trade barriers, with Chery buying Nissan's Rosslyn plant near Pretoria in July and BAIC and Great Wall already operating on the continent. South Africa, Morocco, Kenya, Ethiopia and Ghana are drawing investment through rebates, tax breaks and import bans on fossil-fuel cars, though weak grids, thin charging infrastructure and policy uncertainty still deter long-term commitment.GAC ADDS 44KWH AION UT WITH 320KM (199 MILES) WLTP RANGE IN LATE 2026GAC will add a 44kWh lithium iron phosphate entry version of the Aion UT with an estimated 320km (199 miles) WLTP range, priced under AUD$30,000 before on-road costs. It sits below the 60kWh Premium and Luxury at AUD$31,990 and AUD$35,990, answering cheaper rivals such as BYD's AUD$23,990 Atto 1 Essential and Geely's AUD$26,490 EX2 Complete.HONGQI TO ENTER AUSTRALIA IN 2027Hongqi will launch in Australia under the HQ name in January 2027 via Sydney distributor Greentech, starting with the E-HS9 large three-row electric SUV. Entry cars use a 99kWh NMC battery for 465km (289 miles) WLTP and higher trims a 120kWh pack for 515km (320 miles), with six- or seven-seat layouts and twin 16.2-inch displays, but no announced pricing.XCHARGE POWERS ELECTRIC AIRPORT FIRE ENGINEXCharge North America has deployed a 400-kW ultra-fast charger at Dallas Love Field Airport to serve Dallas Fire-Rescue's Rosenbauer Panther 6×6 Electric, billed as the world's first fully electric aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicle. The airport handles almost 18 million passengers a year, and XCharge argues electrification reduces the logistical and environmental risks of moving and storing liquid fuel around aircraft operations.One flag: the GAC headline says late 2026, but the copy says "late next year" — from an August 2026 dateline those are a year apart.

Tensions géopolitiques, commerce international, souveraineté, nouvelles technologies, transition énergétique, matières premières, emploi, formation et inégalités : cette saison, « Éco d'ici, Éco d'ailleurs » et « Le grand invité de l'économie RFI - Jeune Afrique » a donné la parole à des dirigeants, entrepreneurs, experts et décideurs pour décrypter les grandes transformations en cours entre Afrique, Europe et reste du monde. Voici une sélection de certains des entretiens les plus marquants. Retrouvez ici nos invités en vidéo Grégory Clerc : Castel mise sur l'Afrique et la décentralisation Directeur général du groupe Castel depuis 2023, Grégory Clerc est revenu sur la transformation d'un groupe mondial du vin et des boissons, particulièrement implanté en Afrique. Au-delà de la gouvernance et de la succession au sein du groupe, il a défendu une stratégie fondée sur la croissance africaine et sur la capacité de Castel à s'adapter à un continent en pleine mutation. L'un des points forts de son intervention concerne l'organisation du groupe : Grégory Clerc revendique un modèle largement décentralisé, laissant une importante marge de décision aux filiales et à leurs dirigeants. Une manière, selon lui, de rester au plus près des réalités locales et de préserver l'agilité du groupe. Autre enjeu majeur : la sécurité. Malgré les difficultés rencontrées dans certains pays du Sahel, en République démocratique du Congo ou en Centrafrique, Castel n'envisage pas de retrait de ses marchés africains. Le groupe assume une stratégie de long terme fondée sur la connaissance du terrain et la résilience. Alahassane Diakité : le cacao ivoirien face à la volatilité des marchés La crise du cacao a constitué l'un des grands sujets agricoles de la saison. Alahassane Diakité, directeur général de la Maison du Cacao et de Diakité Cocoa Products, a livré son analyse d'une filière confrontée à la volatilité des cours, à la spéculation, aux stocks et aux difficultés rencontrées par les producteurs ivoiriens. Pour lui, l'une des réponses passe par l'accélération de la transformation locale. La Côte d'Ivoire compte déjà plusieurs usines de transformation et l'objectif affiché est d'augmenter encore cette capacité afin de contribuer à stabiliser la filière et à créer davantage de valeur sur place. Autre combat : permettre aux producteurs et aux coopératives d'accéder davantage aux marchés à terme et de mieux maîtriser leurs risques. Une question essentielle dans une filière exposée aux mouvements des marchés internationaux et aux stratégies des grands négociants. L'entretien a également porté sur la gouvernance de la filière et sur la nécessité, selon Alahassane Diakité, de maintenir le débat sur le cacao à distance des affrontements politiques. Une position qui prend une dimension régionale alors que la Côte d'Ivoire et le Ghana, deux poids lourds mondiaux du cacao, cherchent à renforcer leur coopération pour peser davantage sur les marchés internationaux. Athina Argyriou : l'automobile européenne face aux offensives chinoise et américaine L'industrie automobile est elle aussi au cœur des bouleversements mondiaux. Athina Argyriou, déléguée générale de la CSIAM (Chambre Syndicale Internationale de l'Automobile et du Motocycle), a analysé la montée en puissance des constructeurs chinois, la politique protectionniste américaine et les difficultés auxquelles les constructeurs européens doivent répondre. Elle souligne notamment les atouts industriels de la Chine : une importante capacité d'ingénierie, un effort considérable de recherche et développement et un appareil industriel capable de mettre rapidement de nouveaux produits sur le marché. Face à cette concurrence, elle met en garde contre la tentation européenne du protectionnisme. Pour elle, la compétitivité passe davantage par le maintien d'une base industrielle solide, l'innovation et l'indépendance énergétique. La transition vers la voiture électrique constitue évidemment l'un des grands enjeux. Athena Argyriou estime que le choix américain de ralentir cette évolution risque de pénaliser l'industrie des États-Unis elle-même, tandis que l'Europe doit continuer à investir dans cette transformation pour préserver sa compétitivité. Baba Hady Thiam : Simandou, le pari minier de la Guinée Avec Baba Hady Thiam, avocat d'affaires franco-guinéen, l'émission s'est penchée sur l'un des projets miniers les plus importants du continent : Simandou. Un projet intégré associant extraction de minerai de fer, infrastructures ferroviaires, installations portuaires et transformation locale. Pour la Guinée, l'enjeu dépasse largement l'exploitation du minerai. Simandou doit devenir un catalyseur permettant de développer d'autres secteurs de l'économie et de sortir du piège traditionnel de la dépendance aux matières premières. Baba Hady Thiam insiste cependant sur une condition essentielle : la réussite dépendra de la capacité à exécuter concrètement les plans annoncés. L'autre grand sujet est celui du contenu local. L'enjeu ne doit pas simplement être de fixer des pourcentages minimums d'emplois ou de contrats attribués aux entreprises nationales. Il doit, selon lui, permettre une véritable montée en gamme des compétences locales afin que les entreprises guinéennes soient capables, demain, de prendre en charge des projets de plus en plus complexes. Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni : construire une souveraineté numérique africaine L'intelligence artificielle et la souveraineté numérique ont occupé une place centrale dans la saison. À Marrakech, à l'occasion du Gitex Africa 2026, Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni, ministre marocaine chargée de la transition numérique, a défendu une vision d'une IA souveraine et durable. La souveraineté ne se résume pas au stockage des données. Elle suppose également des infrastructures, des capacités de calcul, des datacenters, une connectivité et surtout une réglementation capable de protéger les données et d'encadrer leur utilisation. La ministre marocaine plaide également pour une coopération accrue entre les pays africains. Plutôt que de reproduire les modèles européens ou asiatiques, elle défend une « troisième voie » africaine de l'intelligence artificielle et de la technologie, fondée sur le partage des données, des talents et des capacités de calcul. El Mouhoub Mouhoud : immigration, école et mobilité sociale L'économiste El Mouhoub Mouhoud, spécialiste de la mondialisation et président de l'université PSL, a abordé l'économie à travers son propre parcours et son ouvrage « Le Prénom ». Son intervention a permis de revenir sur l'immigration économique, mais aussi sur la réussite scolaire des enfants issus de l'immigration. Il dénonce une vision du débat public qui se concentre sur les situations les plus visibles, qu'il s'agisse de la délinquance ou des réussites sportives, en oubliant la masse de jeunes issus de l'immigration qui réussissent par l'école. L'apprentissage apparaît à ses yeux comme un outil particulièrement efficace contre les discriminations à l'embauche : une fois les jeunes présents dans l'entreprise, leurs compétences peuvent s'exprimer concrètement et les préjugés liés au nom ou au territoire peuvent reculer. Il invite également à dépasser l'idée d'une méritocratie selon laquelle la réussite ne dépendrait que de la volonté individuelle. L'accès à l'école, la transmission familiale, le goût de l'effort et les conditions sociales jouent un rôle déterminant dans les trajectoires. Thierry Marx : immigration, emploi et transmission des savoir-faire Pour clôturer cette sélection, Thierry Marx a apporté son regard de chef cuisinier et de président de l'Union des métiers de l'hôtellerie et de la restauration. Son parcours personnel, marqué par une scolarité difficile avant de devenir l'un des grands chefs français, a servi de point de départ à une réflexion sur la formation, l'apprentissage et l'immigration économique. Dans un secteur qui emploie une importante proportion de travailleurs issus de l'immigration, Thierry Marx insiste sur les situations concrètes des personnes formées et employées dans l'hôtellerie-restauration, notamment celles qui peuvent se retrouver confrontées à des difficultés administratives après leur apprentissage. La transmission est également au cœur de son intervention. Pour Thierry Marx, former ne consiste pas à reproduire mécaniquement un modèle : transmettre un savoir-faire doit permettre à celui qui apprend de devenir autonome, de développer sa curiosité et, à son tour, de transmettre.  

Our chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet meets Afghan women and girls who face severe restrictions. Girls can only attend school until grade six - around the age of 12 - and women are barred from university and many jobs. There are even rules over visiting public parks and gyms. But many women and girls are still determined to keep learning and working, despite what some call "gender apartheid". Also: Democratic lawmakers in the US are calling for an investigation into allegations of suicide attempts, food shortages and deteriorating conditions on board the USS Abraham Lincoln, which has been at sea for what's believed to be a record 200 days. For the first time in the US in 16 years, three people have been executed in one day. Gay people flee Ghana after parliament votes to jail them and anyone who "promotes homosexuality". As rescue workers in Colombia try to reach survivors of Monday's earthquake, we talk to the cousin of a 10-year-old boy who's trapped in the rubble with his mother and grandmother. Scientists in London claim they have invented the world's first fully biodegradable party balloon that breaks down within just nine months. A new study finds that pushing a buggy or stroller while running can help prevent injuries. And why Japan's rugby team coach is showing players videos of geese ahead of their game against Australia this weekend.

C'est au début des années 2000 que l'Afrique de l'Ouest voit une nouvelle migration en provenance de Chine s'établir dans quelques pays (Sénégal, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroun, Ghana). Parmi eux, on distingue deux types de migrants. Il y a d'abord ces Chinois venus dans le cadre de grands projets de construction d'infrastructures régis par des partenariats entre la Chine et les pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest. Et puis il y a ceux qui émigrent par leurs propres moyens et qui cherchent des opportunités de faire des affaires dans des pays africains. C'est à ces derniers que nous nous intéressons ici avec le sinologue Antoine Kernen, spécialiste des relations Chine-Afrique. Plusieurs dizaines de milliers de migrants chinois exercent leur activité commerciale dans des pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest. La plupart s'installent dans les grandes villes et les capitales. Une part importante de ces commerçants chinois est originaire des régions de l'est de la Chine, explique Antoine Kernen, sinologue et professeur à la faculté de sciences sociales et politiques de l'université de Lausanne en Suisse. « Il y a une proportion de personnes qui viennent de ces régions très dynamiques de la côte chinoise, donc Zhejiang et Fujian. Donc ce ne sont pas des gens qui viennent des régions les plus pauvres de Chine, c'est vraiment des gens qui sont portés par le dynamisme économique de ces régions côtières qui produisent des biens manufacturés pour la Chine, pour l'étranger. Et si on veut, l'Afrique devient une nouvelle frontière, finalement un nouvel endroit où on peut tenter d'aller vendre ces produits qu'on manufacture dans ces provinces côtières ». À leurs débuts, ces commerçants chinois se sont d'abord tournés vers la vente de produits bon marché pour toucher une plus large partie de la population africaine, mais aujourd'hui leur activité évolue. « Progressivement, on a aussi maintenant effectivement des produits beaucoup plus sophistiqués qui arrivent sur le marché. Les motos, ça fait un moment, les climatisations, ça fait un moment, tout le gros électroménager peut être chinois, il y a d'autres offres, mais globalement, l'arrivée des produits chinois a entraîné une certaine démocratisation de l'accès à certains biens. On voit que le coût effectivement de ces produits, qui était réservé auparavant vraiment à une élite, se sont démocratisés parmi, en gros, la classe moyenne urbaine des pays de l'Afrique de l'Ouest ». Des commerçants chinois qui diversifient leurs activités Autre phénomène comme au Cameroun : face à la concurrence des petits commerçants locaux et des grandes chaînes de distribution chinoises, les migrants investisseurs chinois diversifient leurs activités. « Donc on voit ces mêmes personnes, c'est pour ça que ce terme d'investisseurs est assez bon, finalement, qui réinvestissent dans d'autres domaines, qui vont décider finalement de créer des restaurants, mais pas forcément des restaurants chinois. Il y a des chaînes de fast food au Cameroun maintenant qui sont tenues par des Chinois. Des petites industries chinoises se développent aussi maintenant dans la périphérie de Yaoundé, Douala, ce qui montre bien qu'on est quand même dans une temporalité qui est plus longue. On n'est plus simplement à écouler son container de produits chinois et de se dire "bon, la prochaine fois, je reviens pas" ». Ces dernières années, il n'y a pas eu d'augmentation importante de migrants chinois venus s'installer pour investir dans le commerce dans les pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest. Toutefois, le sinologue Antoine Kernen a, lui, constaté une légère augmentation de Chinois expatriés au Cameroun. Ces derniers ont un profil différent des migrants investisseurs puisqu'ils viennent dans les pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest pour travailler dans des entreprises chinoises déjà implantées sur place.

Sedra, Hiyan, Arham, Arnav and Qingke (Coco) take time at the very end of their school year to join me for a conversation and reflect on their experience at this year's PYP exhibition. What sets these students apart is not just that they did such a fantastic job with their exhibition projects, but that they chose to explore the challenging topics of mental health, depression, and suicide. The amazing educators at the school have combined elements from Kath Murdoch's inquiry cycle with the Empathy to Impart framework developed by Inspire Citizens to create their own Heart-Mind-Action approach that guides teaching and learning across the PYP and has become part of the DNA at their school. Discover a transformative podcast on education and learning from a student perspective and student voice, exploring media, media literacy, and media production to inspire citizens in schools through a media lab focused on 21st-century learning, empathy to impact, Global citizenship, collaboration, systems thinking, service learning, PBL, CAS, MYP, PYP, DP, Service as Action, futures thinking, project-based learning, sustainability, well-being, harmony with nature, community engagement, experiential learning, and the role of teachers and teaching in fostering well-being and a better future.

By 1975, after 3 or 4 albums of success that shot him into the stratosphere, Stevie Wonder was ready to call it quits. Living under Nixon's America, he was understandably upset with the way the United States was conducting itself and was seriously considering moving to Ghana and dedicating himself to aiding children with disabilities. He even planned a farewell concert to solidify the plan, but Berry Gordy swooped in and convinced him to stay... But I'm sure being offered one of the greatest record deals of all time helped too. Anyway, after all that and having his daughter in 1975, he was ready to create his masterpiece about the wonder of life: Songs in the Key of Life.

How do languages die? Who's behind the death of languages from Ghana's Dagbani to regional Italian dialects? And does it matter if they decay? Almost half of our 7,000 languages are expected to go extinct by the next century and “linguicide”, the death of a language, is to blame. It can be intentional, such as the Turkish government's repression of Kurds or less intentional, due to simple neglect. So can anything be done to save languages from dying? Journalist, author and broadcaster Sophia Smith Galer joins Emma Kennedy to discuss the impending linguistic extinction.  • Buy Sophia's book How To Kill a Language: Power, Resistance and the Race to Save Our Words from our affiliate bookshop and you'll help fund the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

Most apparel companies don't have a demand problem. They have a lead time problem. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, hosts Scott W. Luton and Scot Case welcome Maithili Shenoy, Founder and CEO of La Naia Collective, for a frank, frameworks-forward look at why the global apparel operating model is cracking under its own weight and what it would actually take to rebuild it. From the Multifiber Agreement's unraveling in 2005 to the speed at which TikTok now dictates what sells, Maithili draws a clear line between the world the industry was built for and the one it's operating in today. She breaks down why long lead times convert forecast error into stranded inventory, how the markdown machine erodes billions in gross margin dollars annually, and why the financial damage runs deeper than most balance sheets reveal. Scot adds a sustainability lens that sharpens the conversation, connecting the landfills of Ghana's Kantamanto Market to the same structural misalignments driving poor financial returns. The conversation builds into Maithili's 4S architecture: Strategize, Segment, Structure, Sustain, and the regenerative loop that ties them together. Real-world examples ground every layer: Inditex running 57.8% gross margins with inventory costs half the industry average, Abercrombie & Fitch going from 1% to 15% operating margins by abandoning markdown dependency, and why companies still anchored to gross margin rate alone are running out of runway. If you're trying to understand why so many smart people keep making decisions that produce irrational collective outcomes and what a better model actually looks like, this conversation earns its time.

WAFCON's quarterfinals just delivered the craziest week in the tournament's history, and the results prove it: ten-time champion and defending champion Nigeria were knocked out and Malawi, playing in just their first-ever WAFCON, qualified for their first-ever World Cup as the lowest-ranked nation to ever do it.In this episode, LDG breaks down all four quarterfinal matches before making the case that the World Cup slot allocation hasn't caught up to what African women's football has become. He lays out the numbers first: CAF and UEFA have almost identical membership, 54 nations to 55, yet UEFA gets eleven direct World Cup slots to CAF's four. This year's WAFCON proves how badly that decision missed the mark and why this current framework is detrimental to the growth of the women's game.He backs it up with what just happened on the pitch, a 16-team WAFCON field for the first time ever with two debutant nations reaching the tournament and a group so tight that CAF had to separate Malawi, Nigeria, and Zambia on a rarely-used head-to-head tiebreaker.From there, LDG gets into the storylines carrying the tournament into its final week, including KC Current forward Temwa Chawinga's goal against Ghana that kept Malawi's run alive, and what it means for an NWSL name to be at the center of an African qualifying story.He previews Wednesday's semifinals, Morocco hosting Cameroon in Rabat and Malawi facing Algeria in Casablanca, and closes on the four teams still fighting for a way into Brazil: Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, and Ivory Coast all play an extra round on August 13 for a single remaining spot in the FIFA inter-confederation playoff, with two former champions now needing one more result just to stay alive.As mentioned in the episode, if you are looking to more WAFCON content, listen to our interview with Nigerian forward Esther Okoronkwo here, which we released on the day of their first 2026 WAFCON match!Thank you all for listening!

After reading an email from a listener in Ghana, Jacke talks to Sonja Tiernan about her book Eva Gore-Booth: Irish Radical Poet, Rebel, and Reformer, which tells the story of a young woman who cast aside her aristocratic origins to champion the causes of barmaids, circus performers, flower sellers, and pit-brow lasses. Living in Manchester with her partner, Esther Roper, Gore-Booth became an unsung hero of LGBTQ+ history, editing a radical journal and publishing nineteen volumes of poetry and prose that drew the admiration of fellow writers like W.B.
