The UK is in the middle of a chronic housing shortage. The government wants 300 thousand new homes built every year,  but where should they go? Local authorities are under pressure and campaigners want to protect green spaces. How can we get the balance between the need for new homes and sustainability?Join me as I discuss these issues and more with Helen Marshall, director of the Campaign to Protect Rural England, Oxfordshire and Maxwell Marlow from the Adam Smith Institute  whose new report suggests allowing homeowners to build up to eight storeys high will alleviate the housing shortage and benefit the economy.We explore the option of building on brownfield sites, land that has previously been developed. We talk about the role of solar. We look at the new report by the Adam Smith Institute: Cooped Up, quantifying the costs of housing restrictions. Should planning regulations be eased to encourage more building, or tightened up to protect the environment? Can we have more houses and still save our green spaces for future generations?

Filly is joined by Helen Marshall, founder of Primal Alternative, on today's podcast episode. I came across the Primal Alternative brand five or so years ago, and fell in love IMMEDIATELY with the grain-free, wholefood bakery products. Bread, cookies, granolas, pizza bases, pastries, wraps - Primal Alternative has you covered, making healthy eating and eating to a protocol (low-fodmap, Paleo, Keto, Vegan, nut-free, etc) covered! It was great chatting to Helen about her own body burnout journey, how Primal Alternative came about, and how she has created a unique business model, helping other women bake grain-free products from home with the Primalista Licence and make money. About Helen Marshall Helen's mission is to empower people to be accountable to their purpose with a new business model of freedom – the Primalista Licence. The model was born from a desire to share a successful grain free food business model. As a health coach, Helen saw first hand how people ‘fell off the wagon' as they missed comfort food staples like bread, pizza, pastries and cookies. So she created nourishing alternatives to the foods everyone loves and they literally sold like hot cakes. Helen gets the struggles many face finding a vocation that aligns with their values. She packaged everything she'd learnt about creating a food business from home whilst on a healing journey, raising a family and designing a lifestyle around the things she loves. The Primalista Licence meets the needs of many people in all areas of their lives: vocational, financial, mental, spiritual, social, physical & familial. To date over 291 Primalistas have joined Primal Alternative in Australia, New Zealand, USA & UK. Before ditching the rat race, she was a Fitness Instructor and Personal trainer then a Business Manager for a leading recruitment company in the city. Helen has interviewed people all of her life listening to their desires around health, work and lifestyle and has combined those skills to bring her greatest contribution yet – the Primalista Licence. Helen lives on 100 acres of wilderness in Albany, WA with her husband Mike and their teenage children Sam & Milly.

How Helen healed using food as medicine, lab testing & protocols, and deeper root-causes around stress.

Hey everyone, Christopher here with another Learning Tech Talks. This week was an insightful conversation with the remarkable Helen Marshall, Chief Learning Officer at THRIVE. While we started on our shared experiences in building community, we dove deep into the crux of AI's potential in the L&D landscape and how it intertwines with the undeniable human need for connection. After all, the future of AI isn't just about the code; it's about how we harness its power to unlock our inherent human capability. Together we discussed how AI can enhance our learning experiences without overshadowing the fundamental human elements. And yes, our chat surprisingly touched on the nuanced world of skills terminology and the unexpected charm of donuts.Throughout the discussion we explore the ethical boundaries of AI, its potential pitfalls, and the wonders of personalization. But amidst all the tech talk, one thing became clear: the need for human connection isn't going anywhere, and it's our responsibility in the L&D world to nurture it. Whether you're an AI enthusiast or someone passionate about the world of learning and development, this conversation has something for you.Don't miss out on this exploration; hit that play button and join us in pondering the intricate dance of technology and humanity.

Younger workers want unlimited holiday, refuse to give up remote working, and are constantly looking for their next job, or so the cliché goes. Millennials and those even younger (Generation Z) do typically have different attitudes to work than their older colleagues, but what are they really, and how are they changing workplaces? Is it all about finishing early on Fridays, finding a company with a strong ethical stance, or looking for the quickest possible route to success? And to what extent have the pandemic and remote working changed the relationship between employees and employers, especially for those new to the world of work? As these younger workers make up an ever-growing proportion of staff at UK firms, Evan Davis and guests ask what's the best way to manage and get the best out of them. GUESTS Grace Beverley, founder and CEO of TALA and SHREDDY; Helen Marshall, chief learning officer at Thrive; Gary Ashworth, chairman of InterQuest Group, Albany Beck and Positive Healthcare.

Helen is a great mate of mine and she inspires me to live my best life regularly! We got to sit down and have a chat again to talk all things getting out of your comfort zone to grow. Helen Marshall is a certified Primal Health Coach & founder of the grain free food range Primal Alternative.  Helen hosts the Primal Alternative Podcast on the Wellness Couch which is the number one ranked health and wellness podcast station in Australia.   She is a Motivational Speaker on grass roots community centric change, overcoming limiting beliefs and creating an exceptional life. Faced with a health crisis which included chronic nausea, constipation, insomnia, physical pain, headaches, brain fog, depression, anxiety and phobias, Helen returned to a diet of plants and animals to reclaim her health.   She ditched grains, sugar and seed oils and embraced sunshine, sleep, nature and connection. Helen qualified as a Primal Health Coach to let other women know that they were not on their own on their health journey and that they too could reclaim their health and change their life just with some diet and lifestyle tweaks and community behind them. But she got kick back, Helen’s clients told her that going grain free was hard – their were time poor and found themselves falling off the wagon.   People found it hard to go without pizza, bread, cookies and lollies. So Helen offered to create a range of Primal Alternatives to the foods people love to make going grain free easy. Helen was told that her products were life changing and she felt compelled to get the range to the whole of Australia but the thought of factories didn’t light her up and besides – she didn’t have any capital. Helen was inspired to share her successful baking business so that other women with a passion for clean living could start their own home business, doing what they love and make a difference in their community. The Primalista Baking Licence launched on Boxing Day 2016 and to date over 140 incredible women have said yes to this opportunity.   Primal Alternative now has an online store and over 250 stockists across Australia, the UK, New Zealand and the US. In 2017 Quirky Cooking collaborated with Primal Alternative to bring a ready made version of their Life Changing Dough to the community.  Before ditching the rat race, Helen was a Fitness Instructor and Personal trainer then a Business Manager for a leading recruitment company in the city.  Helen has worked with women all of her life listening to their desires around health, work and lifestyle and has combined those skills to bring her greatest contribution yet – the Primalista Baking Licence. Helen lives on 100 acres of wilderness in Albany, WA with her husband Mike and their children Sam & Milly.

Surprise! Perhaps against the judgement of their better selves, Kirstyn McDermott and Ian Mond are back with a special Skype-assisted episode of The Writer and the Critic. From their self-isolated COVID-19 bunkers*, they reconvene to chat about some of the things that have made them happy since the last episode aired back in December 2017. Or, indeed, are making them happy right now.   Here's the list of links in order of discussion: 1. The Migration by Helen Marshall (recommended by Kirstyn) 2. Some Good News YouTube channel (recommended by Ian) 3. Mothers Grimm by Danielle Wood (Kirstyn) 4. Victorian Premier Dan Andrews on Twitter and Facebook (Ian) 5. Eye in the Sky (Kirstyn) 6. The Good Place (Kirstyn) 7. Science Vs podcast (Ian) 8. The Allusionist podcast (Kirstyn) 9. The Memory Palace podcast (Kirstyn) 10. Backlisted podcast (Ian) 11. Phoebe Judge reading classic mystery stories on the Criminal podcast (Kirstyn) 12. The Mere Wife by Maria Dahvana Headley (Kirstyn) 13. We All Hear Stories in the Dark by Robert Shearman (Ian) 14. "10 Minutes with ..." series on the Coode Street Podcast Will there be another episode of The Writer and the Critic? Kirstyn and Ian are not sure! It depends on how bored and lonely they get! Or how many people send them feedback that does not include death threats! But they want you to know that they love you and miss you and hope you are all keeping safe and healthy in these strange and difficult times.   * Comfortable suburban loungerooms

This is the third and final interview I recorded at NECON 2019, which I have previously described as a mashup of a horror writers conference and summer camp with adult beverages. I attended NECON for the first time in 2018, and this week's guest, Matt Moore, was my roommate. Lucky for me, he is also a fine and thoughtful writer. His debut book is It's Not the End (and Other Lies), a collection of short stories about what Moore calls personal apocalypses. What Moore means by that is that these stories aren't necessarily about the apocalypse writ large with zombies or the annihilation of the human race, although it doesn't exclude those possibilities. They are more about a moment when a character is facing the end of their life as they have known it so far. There are elements of sci-fi, horror, and what has come to be known as speculative fiction. I would highly recommend picking it up. It is on the Toronto-based Chizine Publications, which has featured the work of some wonderful authors, including Gemma Files, Helen Marshall, Bracken Macleod, David Demchuk, Christopher Golden, Stephen Graham Jones, Paul Tremblay, Ed Kurtz, and many more. Moore and I took a deep dive on a few of the stories in It's Not the End, and also the craft of writing short stories. It's a magical art all its own, different from writing novels. Moore found a great quote for it, which he says in the conversation, “Short stories writers are like someone who knows how to make one cookie.” The stories in this book are concise, and they stop at exactly the moment the story is over. Which sounds obvious, but is a difficult thing to navigate in writing. Moore had another great quote for that he heard recently. “Perfection isn't when you can't add anything more, perfection is when you can't take anything more away.” Moore is currently working on a new novel, and I'm looking forward to see how he applies that to a longer work. I was happy to have gotten to read Moore's work and to have gotten to speak with him at NECON. You can hear a bit of the conference going on in the background. When we started the conversation, we were in an out-of-the-way spot where people weren't gathering. But there are giant bags of books that each attendee gets with their admission price, and people were scavenging the leftover bags behind us at one point. So you get a little bit of a feel for the festive and active atmosphere of NECON. Based on the joy of the folks around us, we got into a bit of the psychology of horror writers. You can find out more about Moore on his website at www.mattmoorewrites.com, on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook under @mattmoorewrites. You can find ChiZine Publications on their website at www.chizinepub.com. Also, if you make short horror films, we've got the Daily Horror Film Fest coming up in October, for which I present a new short horror film every day throughout the month. I am currently open for suggestions for your favorite shorts as I put together the 2019 edition. I will write about each one, and interview some of the filmmakers to give a bit more depth. Our featured track this week is “Windows of Halifax” by Steve Poltz from his new album, Shine On. I caught up with Poltz at Club Passim in Cambridge last week, and he will be the subject of next week's episode of the Department of Tangents. You will hear a bit about the background of this song in that episode. Poltz can write an earnest song or a write with a sense of humor, two things that can sometimes feel at odds, at least emotionally. There is a wistfulness in this song to start, but then you get to this kind of gonzo middle section, in which two windows are talking about their plight, and the unsavory occupants of their houses. Poltz was born in Halifax, spent a lot of time in California, and now lives in Nashville, and that means sometimes his accent changes in weird ways. You can hear that in the conversation between the windows on this song, and I am fairly sure I will never get the opportunity to write that sentence again. Find out more about Steve Poltz at poltz.com and on Twitter under @stevepoltz.

Scraping across the line on the last day of the month, this episode of The Writer and the Critic sees your hosts, Kirstyn McDermott and Ian Mond, waste no time on preamble and instead jump straight into their discussion of the books at hand. Kirstyn has recommended Hair Side, Flesh Side, the debut short story collection by Helen Marshall (beginning at 02:45) while Ian has chosen the science fiction novel Light by M. John Harrison. Listeners may want to check out this interview with Helen Marshall, which Kirstyn mentions, as well as the full review of Hair Side, Flesh Side by Nina Allen in Strange Horizons, from which Ian reads an excerpt. Also recommended is a recent episode of The Coode Street Podcast which featured M. John Harrison as well as reviews of Light. by Ian Banks, Jeff VanderMeer and Adam Roberts, and the judges' report for the 2002 Tiptree Award. And for those curious about the Mari Lwyd reference -- Kirstyn again apologises for her Welsh pronunciation, or lack thereof -- here's a picture: If you've skipped ahead to avoid spoilers, you might want to check back in at 1:26:10 for some brief final remarks. Next month, the two books up for discussion will be Life After Life by Kate Atkinson (chosen by Ian) and The Testament of Jessie Lamb by Jane Rogers (Kirstyn's pick). Read ahead and join in the spoilerific fun!

Recorded in front of a live audience at Continuum 9 in Melbourne, this episode of The Writer and the Critic features special guest N.K. Jemisin alongside your usual hosts, Kirstyn McDermott and Ian Mond. The first part of the podcast is spent chatting -- spoiler-free! -- about the first book in Nora's latest duology, The Killing Moon (Book One of the Dreamblood), which Ian has read and heartily recommends. Kirstyn also mentions the awesome Guest of Honour speech which Nora gave at the convention, and Nora in turn references an important article by Samuel R. Delany on "Racism and Science Fiction" -- first published in 1998 and sadly still very much relevant in 2013. Nora has chosen both books up for discussion this month and -- listeners beware -- spoilers do abound from this point on. A Madness of Angels by Kate Griffin is thrown onto the slab first (starting around 20:20) followed by the graphic novel Saga (Volume 1 only) by Brian K.Vaughan and Fiona Staples (1:00:45). Arachnophobes should also beware -- there is extensive discussion of spiders living in laundries as well as their subsequent hairy-legged demise. Kirstyn is very sad about this. She might even get a bit teary. If you've skipped ahead to avoid spoilers, or perhaps spiders, please come back around 1:25:35 for some final remarks, including a new Twitterr-related discovery made by Ian and some basic lessons in the Australian vernacular. Next month, the two books up for critique will be Hair Side, Flesh Side by Helen Marshall (recommended by Kirstyn) and Light by M. John Harrison (Ian's pick). Read ahead and join in the spoilerific fun!
