Podcast appearances and mentions of ian hughes

Ag Taibhseoireacht is returning to Limerick this year and Joe sat down with the events organiser, Tess Hughes, and performer Ian Hughes to learn what people can expect from the night. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After an 18 year break from the RSC, Ian Hughes has returned to the role of Sir Hugh Evans in Blanche McIntyre's critically acclaimed production of The Merry Wives of Windsor. The production forms part of Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey's opening season as joint Artistic Directors of the RSC, where there seems to be a renewed buzz about the company and the work that is being produced in Stratford-Upon-Avon. Ian's last outing at the RSC was as Sir Hugh Evans in Merry Wives: The Musical, but he has since continued to tread the boards and made various appearances on screen in an array household titles. The Merry Wives of Windsor gives audiences an opportunity to see Ian back somewhere he love though and it was fantastic getting to hear him talk about his history with this beloved institution.  In this exclusive interview, Ian Hughes looks back on his career, starting out his career without training at an elusive drama school and then becoming the first ever winner of the Ian Charleson Award. His first outing to the RSC came about in the early 1990s where he has since taken on roles in King Lear, Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, and more working alongside RSC greats such as Gregory Doran and Adrian Noble. It's an extraordinary career that has also taken him to commercial musicals like The Lion King, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Les Miserables. Never one to be pigeonholed, Ian has also had a career on screen taking part in shows such as Masters of the Sky, Doctor Who and Gavin and Stacy. In our interview, he shares how he's managed to carve out such a varied career working with so many luminaries in the industry but remains humble about the opportunities he's received too. The Merry Wives of Windsor is currently running at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford Upon Avon until 7th September with tickets available now!

Founder of boutique bike brand Vielo, Ian was the man who brought Scott to the UK.  Not bad for a former DJ. Vielo website https://www.vielo.cc/

Rumors of the demise of the metaverse have circulated widely, but the latest revenue numbers and market activity are showing that it's recovering from post-pandemic pull-backs. The industrial metaverse is showing strong growth and attendance at the 15th anniversary of Augmented World Expo USA is up. Analysts Neil Barbour and Ian Hughes are just back from the Expo and discuss their insights with host Eric Hanselman. Metaverse and augmented reality tools are shifting the conversation from human interface to humane interface technologies, looking to better convey information. Semiconductor advances are putting more power into headsets and glasses, and remote rendering and cloud streaming are offloading some of the computational load to the cloud. It's a combination that is bringing the metaverse into retail applications and making it useful for the people who are putting it to work. AI is in the mix, as well, both building worlds and performing language translation.

It might seem like generative AI has eclipsed the metaverse as a buzzy tech topic, but the two are intersecting in ways that are impacting autonomous vehicles and wealth of pursuits beyond gaming. Ian Hughes returns to the podcast to explore what this interaction is creating today and where it's headed. The complexities of the real world are difficult to recreate in training and simulation settings, but are critically needed, particularly those of unpredictable humans…

Moving along to AI, this week's episode has several stories on translations, from glasses that translate speech to augmented reality text, to AI that translates the spoken word to other languages in the style of the speaker. The Content Credentials mark, designed to identify the provenance of AI generated material sparks a conversation on what constitutes generative AI content.  Another AI story describes the design for a generative walking robot made from from Northwestern University constructed of a squishy blob that actually walks.  Check out the video of this purple blob in the show notes.  This story reminded the co-hosts of the AI that figured out the Q*bert game from episode 225. Switching gears to several automotive stories, the team takes a look at GM's focus on the open source uProtocol to attract developers.  A story about the IDRA Gigapress expansion to Ford and Hyundai shows how this manufacturing technique is dramatically accelerating automotive manufacturing processes.

Leadership positions, even in democratic societies, often become breeding grounds for the abuse of power. This alarming reality is evident right before our very eyes. From the physics labs of Northern Ireland to the depths of psychoanalytic psychotherapy, Ian Hughes has seen firsthand the potent influence of dangerous personalities in shaping our society. As the acclaimed author of “Disordered Minds: How Dangerous Personalities are Destroying Democracy”, Ian's meticulous research and profound understanding of history and human psychology unravel the complex interplay of psychological and societal dynamics that enable individuals with personality disorders to rise to positions of authority. Once in power, it is not uncommon for these individuals to perpetuate cycles of abuse through their leadership. On this episode of The Workplace Communication Podcast, prepare for a gripping discussion as Ian shares profound insights into how personality disorders can profoundly impact societal structures and leadership. His thought-provoking insights will challenge your thinking, prompting you to explore innovative ways to reshape our communities to counteract the influence of dangerous minds. Along the way, Ian draws compelling parallels to the business and leadership that will leave you hungry for more. Leadership tips you won't want to miss:

While the hype may have faded, predictions of the death of the metaverse are greatly exaggerated. While Apple never uttered the word at their headset announcement, it's another step in the progress of “spatial computing.” Returning guests Neil Barbour and Ian Hughes explore the impact and the supporting ecosystem with host Eric Hanselman. Keeping clear of buzzy terms could aid adoption, as more practical uses are leading the charge. The future may be here, just not very evenly distributed…

With the attention given to the metaverse, it's worth digging into the more practical details of how it's impacting the need for infrastructure, and what the market impacts can be. Ian Hughes and Neil Barbour return to look at recent research, market forecasts, and the evolution of advertising in this new realm with host Eric Hanselman. As practical applications extend from gaming to the industrial metaverse and investment strategies change, branding and advertising are changing along with them.

This year's Mobile World Congress was back with the massive throngs of years past and some notable advances in the technological partnerships between hyperscalers and telecom operators. Brian Partridge and Ian Hughes return to discuss the latest advances with host Eric Hanselman. Private wireless got expanded focus while issues around spectrum realities are being worked out. The industrial metaverse has emerged as the pragmatic course for this buzzy technology. There's money to be made there.

Before the 2022 FIFA World Cup kicks off on November 20 in Qatar, the Steel Sports Podcast previews soccer's biggest event. Our resident soccer expert Ian Hughes, a UEFA Pro License coach with over a decade of experience with the Football Association of Wales, breaks it all down for the listeners. Hear about the teams and matchups to watch, breakout stars, who has the most pressure, what to expect in the USA vs. Wales matchup and more. We also give our predictions for a few teams who could surprise and who will ultimately be raising the trophy as World Cup Champions.

On this episode, Jackson Bakich and Kyeli Brennan take the reins and are joined by veteran correspondents Max Runde and Ian Hughes to talk about Florida State's blowout victory in Syracuse then previewing their next game against Louisiana (5:24). They'll then discuss last week's slate of college football along with giving their Final 4 for the CFB Playoff (30:28) before wrapping up with the NFL Sunshine Slate (53:53).

Approaching All Hallow's Eve/Halloween, Samhain, and Day of the Dead, we are entering into the season of gratitude - running from now through the Winter Solstice & the calendar's new year. It is a season of gathering, collection, and reflection, and Cultivating Place is in conversation this week with an artist and a green spirit in our garden care world, Louesa Roebuck, about her newest book Punk Ikebana: Reimagining the Art of Floral Design (gathering, gleaning & composing in situ), being published by Cameron books on November 8. With Renaissance-reminiscent, still-life-rich photography by Ian Hughes and a poetic introduction by Obi Kauffman, Punk Ikebana is a wild wonder of abundance perspective and grounded gratitude. I invite you to listen in. All photos by Ian Hughes, courtesy of Louesa Roebuck, all rights reserved. Cultivating Place now has a donate button!

Later, they'll recap the headlines of the second week of college football (32:46) and wrap up with a discussion on the NFL after Week 1 (54:27).

The difference between augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) can be gray in some uses, but there's a continuum of capabilities that have become essential for modern enterprise. Ian Hughes returns to explore super powers that AR/VR can confer with host Eric Hanselman and look at how enterprises should be putting them to work. Digital twins aren't standard issue, yet, but they're a key part of making metaverses valuable.

While we've come a ways from Robby the Robot being society's image of robots, there's more useful nuance. Senior research analyst Ian Hughes returns to discuss a model of nine levels of autonomy with host Eric Hanselman and effects on applications of robotic technology. Self-driving vehicles are just a start and many of the enabling technologies are in early stages, but digital twins play a key role in training the models that are driving robots and link them to digital realms and metaverses.

It's being talked about in grand terms, but The Metaverse not a single thing or even a specific technology. Senior analyst Ian Hughes is back to discuss the many facets of metaverses with host Eric Hanselman. While some are laying claim, the metaverse comes in many forms and holds the promise of enriching human interactions. Gaming interfaces are a popular representation, but the interconnection can have ties to the physical world. Is this podcast a metaverse? Maybe just a part of one…

On this episode, the usual suspects in Gabe Tisnes and William Haynes are joined by fan favorite AJ LaCoursiere and debutant Ian Hughes to talk about the latest in the NFL with Calvin Ridley's season-long suspension, the Aaron Rodgers sweepstakes saga, while taking a look at Florida State's chances in the ACC tournament.

Instrumentation and monitoring is what most think about for IoT in industry, but there is so much more. Senior analyst Ian Hughes joins host Eric Hanselman to look at how digital twins and threads are unlocking innovation in industrial processes, by powering simulations. It's a shift where AR has become the user interface to IoT and more effectively integrates the human aspects in a range of businesses. Process efficiency is a first order benefit and there is much more that can be achieved.

[Warning] This episode contains explicit language and explicit themes. Listener discretion is advised. Byzantium has been one of Danny's favorite historical subjects since the ninth grade. Rome is all well and good but as a historian one can only read so much when they are younger. Then a youthful reader discovers that there is a whole other history full of extreme personalities that he hasn't ever heard of before and it's off to the library. Byzantium may be considered the "Eastern" Roman Empire, but that gives it too much of a little brother feel. The people that lived there were Roman, and their history and legacy is still around to this day. However, one such great general does not get the credit he should be due and Danny decides to look at his history closely and analyze whether or not that is the truth. Passing through his preconceptions, Danny discusses both the positives and negatives of this great historical tome and the legacy of the last roman general. ~Follow all the Legionaries on Twitter~ Danny: twitter.com/legionsarchive The Tsar: twitter.com/TsarAlexander6 Allen: twitter.com/blkydpease Spangar: twitter.com/LSFspangar ~Credits~ Original Sound Cloud image provided by Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Belisarius-Roman-General-Ian-Hughes/dp/1473822971/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Original Cover Art owned by Ian Hughes, Pen & Sword Military, and CPI Group.

Steven Scott sits down this week with Ian Hughes from the company Associated Optical.  The company sells a wide range of magnification products including the new eSight glasses that promise to restore sight.

On this episode, Jake and Sean are joined by long-time friend of the pod and composer of the Listen In Podcast theme music, Ian Hughes. Ian talks about his new musical project, Brú na Bóinne, which started as part of the RPM Challenge to write and record an album in one month. He discusses his new album and the inspiration for his new project. He also plays a couple songs live, in-studio (Ian's basement), for your listening enjoyment. Sean, Jake and Ian also discuss the slew of new albums that have come out over the past week, including new releases from Weezer, Frankie Cosmos, The Last Shadow Puppets, Explosions in the Sky, Black Mountain, and Cam Boucher's new project Small Circle.

On this podcast, Kevin and Graham chat to Ian Hughes the Founder and Chief Executive of Consumer Intelligence, a company based in Bristol. They advise companies in customer satisfaction services in Brazil, UK, Ireland, US, Canada, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates and France. He learnt early on in his career, working in the mail room of his father's mail order services company, that if you get the service wrong upfront, it costs you a fortune at the back end. Ian Hughes describes how customer satisfaction varies around the world. What you might get away with as good service in the UK, you would not survive in the opulent surrounds of Dubai, where wealth drives the expectation of higher levels of service. You'll hear how important it is to: See the world through the eyes of the customer. The best way to do this is to be a customer of the organisation. Approach them through naïve eyes. Come at it with curiosity. Use both ears!Ian says this alone will reveal 80% of the customer satisfaction issues companies have. Listen to the opinions of your own people. Ian believes 70% of experiences that his company faces were delivered at the board table. But it is difficult to connect their ideas to staff. There are many reasons for the disconnect between plan and execution. Ian quotes a customer who advises “You should never confuse strategy with stupidity”. The more layers there are in a company the more difficult it is to achieve clarity.He says the best leaders incessantly communicate SIMPLE messages about serving customers over and over again. You start customer communities. Great CEOs are NEVER far from the customer. In Facebook for example. Ian's company Consumer Intelligence has created a feedback community – viewsbank.com Consumers interact with each other and with companies. Viewsbank's 150,000 contributors produce “amazing, unbelievable” ideas for Ian's customers. The advice is to spend time with your customers online – create a dialogue. Mystery shop your competitors. What is it like to shop with them? Be curious. Do it clinically. How long does it take for goods to arrive? What is the experience like opening the packaging? Know the 4 most important things about customer satisfaction: The only person that can define customer satisfaction is YOUR CUSTOMER. So see the world through their eyes. Great customer experience is delivered by people and processes coming together. That is ‘shockingly tough to do'. You are only as good as your last service experience, so make EVERY experience count. Be unique. Differentiate yourself. And continue to differentiate yourself. “Excite in a world of bland”.Ian says the best experience that this podcast can deliver is for YOU to be incited to take action – on just one thing you've been moved about. As a result of this podcast, please take action on at least one thing that applies.EXCITE to INCITE!
