Angela Barnes and John O'Farrell bring us more ridiculous history facts and a less-than serious romp through an event from the past. This time: How one small country in Europe lurched suddenly from hardline Stalinism to Disaster Capitalism, and then gave everyone guns and said ‘Oh sort it out yourselves'. Albania has suffered a stormy history of dictatorships, a king called Zog and being economically choked by the iron grip of mass pyramids schemes which provided false hope to millions.

Angela Barnes and John O'Farrell present the not-so-serious podcast unravelling fascinating and down-right bizarre historical events. This time: They dive deep into the year American politics took a dark turn towards lies, divisiveness and criminality. As is said so often on this podcast; 'it could never happen now'. This is the bitterly fought American Election that set the modern tone with its controversy and dishonesty - and heralded the rise of the new right in America.

They reveal how its discovery led to a craze for radio-active health and beauty treatments, which had the slight drawback of eventually killing you.

Allison (Ali) Kaplan is a self proclaimed career side hustler, and that she is! With a “day job” in writing and journalism as Vice President of content for MSP Communications' Cities Media Group, which includes Twin Cities Business Magazine, where she also serves as Editor in Chief and MplsSt.Paul Magazine, to her “hustle” as Founder of Mother Of, we are so excited to share her story, energy, and insight into the retail industry and all things business journalism. In this episode, we begin by talking about all things “Mother Of,” the go-to dress resource for mothers of the bride and groom. Whether you are that of the bride or groom, you too deserve to feel and look your best. Her business was designed to curate that list and access to dresses, cutting through the clutter, to find what works for you. We talk about how the business blossomed, functions, and serves the greater community at large. We discuss the woes of the fashion industry and how to curate your best wardrobe. At heart, Ali truly is a writer, an editor, a speaker and a storyteller who takes an entrepreneurial approach to journalism—from the creation of her own Ali Shops in the “dark ages” before Instagram to the more recent development of TCB's StartMN magazine focused on entrepreneurship, weekly radio show Shop Girls on myTalk107.1 co-hosted with her mom, and a TCB podcast about business leadership and innovation called By All Means.

Michael Crick profiles the people who shape our world. This time: Charismatic, relentless and sometimes eccentric, manager Jürgen Klopp transformed Liverpool FC's fortunes, bringing the club its first title in 30 years and restoring it reputation. But the team has stumbled badly this season. Can Klopp turn it around? Michael Crick explores the mind and motivation of one of football's greatest managers with journalists James Pearce and Raphael Honigstein, and former Liverpool chief executives Peter Moore and Ian Ayre. “Every great winner is a bad loser” – James Pearce “He doesn't live behind the walls of a fortress. You can see him in the local pub and walking his dog on the beach.” – Peter Moore "I wouldn't expect him to walk away from a challenge. I think he's probably at his best when things aren't perfect.” – Ian Ayre Mugshots was written and produced by Michael Crick and Jet Gerbertson. Additional research by Mathilda Walters.

Michael Crick profiles the people who shape our world. This time: Angela Rayner overcame horrendous poverty to become Labour's Deputy Leader and now a potential future Prime Minister. Pregnant and thrown out of the family home at 16, she nevertheless fought her way to the Labour's commanding heights. What built Angela Rayner's formidable personality? And what does she want? Michael Crick speaks to friends and colleagues from her early days up to her Shadow Cabinet years to uncover a remarkable story of tenacity against the odds. • “Angela's parents gave her no hugs, kisses or love… the family couldn't even afford hot water.” – Michael Crick • “When her childhood friends went home for dinner, she'd be sitting outside on her own… because there was no dinner.” – Elise Wilson • “She had no legal training yet she was handling two or three union cases a day. A lawyer would struggle to do that.” – Andy Verdeille • “When Rayner entered Parliament in 2014, the woman from a chaotic home thrived in a chaotic Party.” – Michael Crick • “A lot of people underestimate her out of sexism, class prejudice and her relative youth.” – Andrew Fisher • “I personally would not want to make an enemy of Angela Rayner.” – Geri Scott Angela Rayner ‘Scum' audio, Labour Party Conference, The Mirror, September 2021 Mugshots was written and produced by Michael Crick and Jet Gerbertson.

In-depth profiles from award-winning journalist Michael Crick, formerly of Newsnight, Panorama and Channel 4. In our first edition: Few newspaper editors wield as much power as the Daily Mail's Paul Dacre. Feared and courted by politicians, he has imposed his singular vision of Britain on successive governments – while sometimes stretching the law in pursuit of justice. What makes Dacre tick? What does he want? And how might this epic career end? WARNING: Contains explicit language. “The problem for the political classes is that the Mail is better at what it does than they are at what they do.” — David Yelland “Tony Blair once said that the problem with Britain is, everyone's a bit Daily Mail before they've had their breakfast.” — Adrian Addison “The Daily Mail frightens people, in politics, sport, entertainment and business. They don't want to get on the wrong side of Paul Dacre.” — David Yelland Mugshots was written and produced by Michael Crick and Jet Gerbertson. Additional research by Mathilda Waters.

It's January and almost Lunar New Year - so it's time to look forward with both hope and a dash of realism. So, what does the 2023 travel year promise for countries across South East Asia, the travel industry and travellers themselves? This year, Gary and Hannah are joined by Karen Yue, Group Editor of TTG Asia, to discuss the 15 travel trends, initiatives and developments that we'll be watching closely in 2023. En route, we assess the enduring impacts of the Great Resignation, the region's changing demographics in travel and profitability vs demand in the new travel economy. We address the evolving role of NTOs and the elevated importance of niche and special interest tourism segments. Plus, we talk tech with travel fintech, e-payments and CBDCs, and metaverse and mixed-reality marketing in tourism - is it bluff, reality or is the jury still out?
Ask any senior business leader about their most important priorities and its likely that digitalization will be mentioned. Put simply, this means using new technology and data to cut costs, improve business processes or streamline customer experiences. The opportunities are great, with expectations that businesses will spend $10trillion+ in the next five years, but the risks are equally significant, and they need to be carefully managed to ensure that digitalization is a success. Eversheds Sutherland Partners Charlotte Walker-Osborn and Bill Dudzinsky talk with Thomas Sturge, Group Editor at Longitude, a Financial Times company, about the opportunities, risks and rewards of digitalization. They discuss why corporate digital responsibility is a phrase we will be hearing a lot more, as a term that is defining the commercial, legal, compliance, ethical, ESG, governance and oversight imperatives that companies need to consider when making decisions relating to technology and data.
