Podcasts about gig economy

This episode goes somewhere we didn't plan, and we think that makes it one of our best yet.We sat down with Jarah Euston, co-founder and CEO of WorkWhile, a fast-growing app-based staffing platform connecting 80 million frontline workers with flexible shift opportunities. Jarah grew up in Fresno working retail, got burnt out building software for tech people, and decided to build technology for workers instead. It's a compelling vision and a genuinely interesting conversation about flexibility, AI, and what the future of work could look like for hourly employees.But after that conversation wrapped, we learned that WorkWhile had recently settled a second major lawsuit with the San Francisco City Attorney's office for misclassifying workers as independent contractors. So we spoke with David Chu, the San Francisco City Attorney, and asked for his side of the story.What you'll hear in this episode is both interviews back to back. First, Jarah's perspective on building worker-centered technology, and then David's perspective on what happens when "flexibility" becomes a cover for avoiding worker protections.Together, these two conversations raise a question that feels urgent right now: Is it possible to build a genuinely worker-centered future of work, one with flexibility, innovation, and fair treatment? Or are we just repackaging old inequities in new apps? Visit us at InclusionGeeks.com to stay up to date on all the ways you can make the workplace work for everyone!

In dieser Folge von Shape of Tomorrow sprechen wir über RentAHuman.ai – die neue Plattform, auf der nicht Menschen KI beauftragen, sondern autonome KI‑Agenten Menschen für physische Aufgaben „mieten“. Bezahlt wird in Krypto, gearbeitet wird für Algorithmen, und das wirft gewaltige Fragen auf: über Arbeitsrechte, über Verantwortung, über Würde und über die Zukunft der Gig‑Economy. Ist das ein cleveres Tech‑Experiment – oder der Start einer dystopischen Realität, in der Maschinen uns Jobs zuteilen? Eine Folge über Rollenwechsel, Risiken und die überraschend nahen Grenzen zwischen Science Fiction und Alltag.

Because he was promised an island.Sound familiar?“Work hard and you'll make partner.”“Grind now, equity later.”“We're a family here - your loyalty will be rewarded.”“Be your own boss - unlimited earning potential.”We're all Sancho Panza now. Following someone else's quest, enduring the chaos, waiting for an island that might never come - or worse, comes in a form we never actually wanted.This episode explores what happens when the everyman follows the madman's promise. What Cervantes understood about gig economy exploitation 400 years before Uber existed. And why Sancho's choice at the end might be the most radical thing you hear all year.Part 2 of “The Wisdom of Don Quixote” series.

In dieser Folge von Mikroökonom beschäftigen sich die Moderatoren Marco Herack und Jens mit drei Hauptthemen, beginnend mit der Kontroverse um digitale Trinkgelder. Marco äußert seine Ablehnung gegenüber dem zunehmenden Druck, bei digitalen Transaktionen Trinkgeld zu geben, und argumentiert, dass dies eher einer Forderung als einer Wahl gleichkomme. Er hebt die psychologischen Auswirkungen dieses Trends hervor, insbesondere wie er sich auf das Kundenerlebnis und die Wahrnehmung der Dienstleistung auswirkt. Die Diskussion geht in eine breitere Analyse der Trinkgeldkultur in Deutschland über, wo sie die Auswirkungen steigender Preise und des Mindestlohns auf das Trinkgeldverhalten untersuchen und einen Rückgang dieser Praxis in verschiedenen Dienstleistungsbranchen aufzeigen. Das Gespräch wendet sich dann der politischen Landschaft in den USA zu und konzentriert sich auf Donald Trumps Strategien im Vorfeld der Zwischenwahlen. Jens skizziert Trumps Versuche, die wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen zu manipulieren, um sein Image zu stärken, darunter der Druck auf die Federal Reserve, die Zinssätze zu senken, und das Eintreten für niedrigere Kreditkartenzinsen. Die Moderatoren diskutieren die Auswirkungen dieser Maßnahmen auf die Wirtschaft und die möglichen Folgen für die amerikanischen Verbraucher und betonen dabei den transaktionalen Charakter von Trumps Regierungsstil. Insgesamt bietet die Folge eine kritische Betrachtung sowohl der Trinkgeldkultur als auch der politischen Manöver im Kontext wirtschaftlicher Zwänge. In dieser Folge tauchen Marco Herack und Jens in die Komplexität der US-Politik ein und konzentrieren sich dabei insbesondere auf die Auswirkungen von Trumps Außenpolitik und die bevorstehenden Zwischenwahlen. Sie diskutieren die gemischten Gefühle der Wähler gegenüber Trumps Maßnahmen, insbesondere unter evangelikalen Gruppen, und die möglichen Auswirkungen von Taktiken zur Unterdrückung von Wählern auf das Engagement der Demokraten. Das Gespräch wendet sich dann wirtschaftlichen Themen zu, wobei sie die aktuelle Lage der US-Wirtschaft, die Inflation und die Rolle der Federal Reserve unter Trumps Einfluss analysieren. Sie äußern sich skeptisch über die Nachhaltigkeit des Wirtschaftswachstums und die Risiken einer übermäßigen Abhängigkeit von Konjunkturmaßnahmen, die zu einem Vertrauensverlust in Finanzinstitute führen könnten. Die Diskussion geht dann über zur Gig Economy, insbesondere zu den jüngsten Änderungen der Mindestlohngesetze für Lieferfahrer in New York. Marco hebt die unbeabsichtigten Folgen dieser Gesetze hervor, wie z. B. einen Rückgang der Trinkgelder und eine Verringerung der aktiven Fahrer, während Jens die weiterreichenden Auswirkungen auf Gig-Economy-Plattformen betont. Sie schließen mit Überlegungen zur sich wandelnden Natur von Arbeit und Vergütung im digitalen Zeitalter und betonen die Notwendigkeit eines tieferen Verständnisses dafür, wie sich diese Veränderungen sowohl auf Arbeitnehmer als auch auf Verbraucher auswirken.

One on One Video Call W/George https://tidycal.com/georgepmonty/60-minute-meetingSupport the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USIn a world besieged by the relentless march of AI, where algorithms whisper promises of utopia or apocalypse, one timeless tale rises from the dust of centuries to mirror our chaotic present: Don Quixote. Join host [Your Name] in the premiere episode of [Podcast Name], “The Knight of the Sorrowful Algorithm,” as we embark on a quixotic quest through Cervantes' masterpiece—a story of a man whose brain “dried up” from devouring too many fantastical romances, only to armor up and charge into a reality that mocked his dreams.But this isn't just dusty literature. It's us. Right now. Scrolling through endless feeds of AI doomsayers and saviors: “Your job is obsolete!” “Embrace the disruption!” “AGI will save—or end—humanity!” We're all Don Quixote, lost in a whirlwind of narratives that blur truth and fiction, leaving us paralyzed by questions: Is adaptation surrender? Is optimism naivety? And who are the true mad knights of our age—the artists defying generative machines, the workers reclaiming their humanity, or those daring to pursue passion in a profit-obsessed empire?Delve into the heart of the madness: Why Don Quixote chose delusion over despair, and why “sanity”—accepting a world ruled by efficiency, oligarchs, and obsolescence—might be the deadliest illusion of all. In a finale that shatters illusions, discover how renouncing the quest led to his demise… and what that means for us tilting at digital windmills.Epic, introspective, and urgently relevant, this episode challenges you to ask: In the AI era, is going a little mad the only way to stay truly alive? Tune in, saddle up your Rocinante, and ride into the fray. Next up: “Sancho Panza and the Gig Economy”—the everyman's gamble on a madman's promise.

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, we kick off the New Year with a look at how India's startup and tech ecosystem hit the ground running. We unpack Deepinder Goyal's defence of the gig economy amid strike calls, examine India's draft space traffic safety rules as satellite launches rise, track the Centre's biggest-ever approvals under the electronics component scheme, and close with IIT Madras launching IITM Global as it scales its international research ambitions.

The Suffolk and Goode Players take on the Gig Economy in this parody of "Scarborough Fair/Canticle," an old English folk tune arranged by Martin Carthy and Paul Simon, who also added some lyrics and recorded it with Art Garfunkel. Our version had lyrics by Dale Leopold, Chris Mezzolesta arranged it and played acoustic guitar, bass guitar and virtual harpsichord and bells, and sung by Chris, Lori Furth and Karyn O'Bryant. Like the SandG version, there's a "Canticle" counter-melody that takes aim at the greed and callousness of those at the top. Enjoy!

There is an enormous amount of research on treatment for ADHD - pharmaceutical and otherwise. But not all of those trials, or meta-analyses, are of high quality; and not many compare the whole literature.  Now a new umbrella review - a review of reviews - tries to give a broad overview of the whole evidence base. Corentin Gosling, associate professor at the Université Paris Nanterre, joins us to set out the benefits and harms of ADHD therapies.   Also, the BMJ's been investigating the employment of doctors on “local” contracts in the NHS - and our latest look at this exposes what some have described as a “gig economy”, with doctors plugging rota gaps but missing out on training, development, and salary progression. Rebecca Coombes, head of journalism at The BMJ explains more.   Finally, Tom Frieden is former head of the US Centers for Disease Control, and current CEO of Resolve to Save Lives - he's written a new book on public health. He joins us to talk about what actually improves health at a population level, and why the current US administration's approach to staffing the CDC is leaving the country open to danger.   Reading list Benefits and harms of ADHD interventions: umbrella review and platform for shared decision making Revealed: Thousands of NHS doctors are trapped in insecure “gig economy” contracts

A Supreme Court ruling yesterday has confirmed four Uber drivers who first took a case against the ride share company in 2022 are actually employees rather than contracters. The ride share is one of thousands of digital platforms that are fueling a gig economy where workers tend to have multiple jobs, work temporary or short term stints and freelance. The World Bank estimates 400 million people earn money from these kind of platforms. But who is benefitting and is there a hidden cost to a cheaper ride to the airport? Employment relations researcher Alex Veen spoke to Lisa Owen.

Business New Zealand is warning the gig economy could collapse, after the Supreme Court's ruling in favour of Uber drivers' rights. Business NZ chief executive Katherine Rich spoke to Corin Dann

The Workplace Relations and Safety Minister says there's currently too much grey area about what defines a contractor, following the Supreme Court's Uber ruling. Four drivers are now legally employees, with the highest court rejecting Uber's bid for the court to overturn a 2024 Court of Appeal ruling. The Government's seeking to clarify the distinction in law. Brooke van Velden told Mike Hosking we need clear rules in this increasingly online platform based world. She says we're going to see more people with flexible work and multiple agreements, so businesses and contractors need more certainty.

India's gig economy is rewriting the rules of work. Behind the rapid growth lies a deeper story — one of transformation and tension.

True to President Trump's campaign promise, the “one big, beautiful bill” allows a limited deduction for overtime income, but the mantra “no tax on overtime” is not quite accurate. In this episode, Tax attorney Douglas Charnas (Washington) and Employment attorney Susan Desmond (New Orleans) discuss the new employee deduction for overtime pay and employers' reporting responsibilities for these deductions.

In the latest episode of Weber Gallagher's Risk Roundtable, join Partners Vanessa Mendelewski and Scott Wilson as they explore the complexities of the gig economy and independent contractor status in New Jersey workers' compensation law. The hosts break down the ABC test, a key legal standard for determining whether a worker is classified as an employee or an independent contractor. Through real-world examples and recent court cases, they discuss how factors like control, the nature of the work, and financial independence impact worker classification. The conversation also covers the challenges faced by gig workers such as Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash drivers, and explains why contracts alone do not determine employment status. Listeners will gain practical insights into how courts approach these cases and what employers and workers should consider when navigating the evolving landscape of gig work. Tune in for an in-depth analysis and actionable takeaways on worker classification and compensation.

You can text us here with any comments, questions, or thoughts!This week, Kemi tackles the pressing question: What does the new standard of academia look like in the wake of recent upheavals? As institutions grapple with shifting ideologies, Kemi explores the implications for academic faculty and the emergence of a new "gig economy" within academia.  In this episode, she emphasizes the need for faculty to redefine their self-worth, viewing themselves as valuable resources rather than mere commodities to be leveraged by institutions. Kemi also outlines the importance of understanding the connections between your input and output, and how to articulate your unique contributions, your “collateral benefits”, within this evolving landscape.

When Cindy Bi hired a surrogate to carry her baby, she neglected to tell her that she had health issues that could put her life in danger. It turns out, she's not required to do so by law. And when the pregnancy went wrong and the child was lost, as reported in Wired Magazine, it opened up a legal, ethical hellmouth. Jessa and Nico discuss the gig economy's takeover of the womb, why the surrogacy industry is powerful yet almost entirely unregulated, and the baby market.

We would love to hear your feedback!EP 266 News LinksEver wondered what happens when a gig worker has to jump a fence during an Amazon delivery? Or how Nashville became home to some of the highest airport rideshare fees in America? The Gig Economy Podcast dives deep into these stories and more as we explore the increasingly chaotic landscape facing today's drivers.When Nashville International Airport implemented a combined $12 round-trip surcharge for rideshare vehicles while simultaneously forcing drivers to use confusing parking garage drop-offs instead of terminal curbsides, it highlighted the growing tension between traditional services and the gig economy. Meanwhile, autonomous vehicles continue their march into mainstream transportation, with Tesla expanding its robo-taxi service from Austin to California's Bay Area—though their boast of 7,000 miles without incidents drew chuckles from hosts who regularly exceed that distance in mere months of driving.The darker side of the gig economy emerges in shocking incidents captured on video: a rideshare driver with a fake license physically assaulting a CEO over his service dog, a DoorDash driver confronted by a nude customer, and a pedestrian violently attacking a Waymo autonomous vehicle. These stories illuminate the very real safety concerns facing both human and robotic participants in today's transportation ecosystem.From Uber's surprising partnership with Turo allowing in-app car rentals to Walmart Spark's changing delivery structure, we examine how companies continue shifting their business models—often at drivers' expense. We also provide practical insight on how canceling rides affects passenger ratings (it doesn't!) and share our experiences with app algorithms and promotional opportunities that vary wildly between markets.Whether you're a full-time gig worker, occasional driver, or just fascinated by this rapidly evolving industry, our no-nonsense conversation provides both entertainment and essential information to navigate today's complex gig economy landscape.
