An economist believes the number of unemployed Kiwis might be close to peaking. The rate reached an 11-year high in the June quarter, on 5.6 percent - up from 5.4. Many say uncertainty fuelled by the Iran war is discouraging employers from taking on staff. Westpac Senior Economist Michael Gordon says the labour market could be nearing its weakest point. "We were starting to see some momentum picking up in the economy late last year to early this year. Unfortunately, we've had this interruption from the Middle East conflict.

Data due out today is expected to show our economy was continuing to recover before the fuel crisis really began to bite. Stats NZ is releasing GDP figures for the March quarter at 10.45. It's expected to show the economy grew between 0.7 and 1% between January and March, but it's likely to have contracted again between April and June. Westpac Senior Economist Michael Gordon told Andrew Dickens normally this is a phase in which we'd be able to get some strong growth, but there are still some headwinds against the economy. He says we still had interest rate relief over the past few years, but it's more a case of the Reserve Bank taking its foot off the break, but not stomping on the accelerator to get the economy going again.

The Effective Workplace Feedback episode of Brain Chatter explores the role of effective feedback in building strong workplace cultures and improving leadership. Organizational psychologist Dr. Ken Chapman, founder of Ken Chapman & Associates, Inc. and author of The Leader's Code discusses why traditional annual performance reviews often fail and what leaders should do instead. Drawing on decades of experience advising organizations around the world, Dr. Chapman explains why timely, specific, and goodwill-driven feedback is far more valuable than infrequent evaluations. The conversation begins by examining what meaningful feedback looks like in practice and why leaders should actively encourage feedback from employees, customers, and colleagues alike.Throughout the episode, Dr. Chapman highlights the elements that make feedback constructive—clear specifics, appropriate timing, mutual respect, and a shared interest in improvement. He contrasts this with feedback that becomes destructive or unhelpful and explains why the absence of constructive feedback is one of the most common causes of employee dissatisfaction with leadership. The discussion also explores the importance of trust, listening, willingness to cooperate, and empathy when giving or receiving feedback, as well as strategies for normalizing regular feedback in workplace environments where it may initially feel uncomfortable.The conversation concludes by addressing common challenges leaders and employees face around feedback, including defensiveness, resistance, or the misuse of feedback. Dr. Chapman shares practical strategies for soliciting useful feedback, responding to unfair or petty criticism disguised as feedback, and holding people accountable for growth and improvement. Ultimately, the episode emphasizes that feedback is a cultural practice—one that, when handled thoughtfully and consistently, strengthens relationships, improves performance, and helps organizations thrive. This forty minute episode answers many other questions related to this topic, as well.

This week on Earth Station Who, the crew trades in the TARDIS for a foggy London streetlamp as we review the Big Finish audio adventure The Paternoster Gang: The Casebook of Paternoster Row—where the monsters are mysterious, the tea is probably poisoned. Someone always knows more than they're saying. Starring the unstoppable trio of Madame Vastra, Jenny Flint, and Strax, this collection of Victorian-era mysteries puts the Paternoster Gang front and center without the Doctor to spoil the investigation. From eerie cases to sharp banter (and the occasional explosive misunderstanding courtesy of Strax), we break down the stories, performances, and whether this audio box set delivers proper gothic chills, clever clues, and classic Big Finish fun.

In this episode, I sit down with percussionist Doug Perkins for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with a few personal connections and quickly opens up into a bigger discussion about music, teaching, and the kind of “improbable events” that can change a person's life. Doug and I talk about our shared link through LSU and Brett Dietz, and Doug tells the story of how he learned bass guitar in the eighth grade to get into a jazz band, which led to rehearsals at home, a punk band with Brett called The Septic Creptics, and a deep early education in groove, feel, and listening. We dig into the teachers who shaped Doug's path, especially Jack DiIanni, and why fundamentals, sound, and real-life performing situations became such a foundation for everything that came next.Doug shares how his background in drum set and bass informs the way he plays and teaches, especially when it comes to music like Steve Reich, where micro-groove, ensemble feel, and knowing your role inside the bigger texture are everything. We also talk about how students learn now, how algorithm-driven listening can shrink context, and why so many young musicians feel pressure to avoid mistakes when everything can feel like a permanent record. Doug explains how he actively teaches context, lineage, and listening, and why basic production skills matter more than ever, including signal flow, microphones, sound reinforcement, and the simple confidence that comes from knowing how to set up a PA or wrap a cable correctly.From there, Doug takes us into his world at the University of Michigan, where he helps lead a large percussion studio with a faculty team that spans orchestral playing, contemporary music, improvisation, and drum set. We talk about the balance between performing and teaching, and how parenting an 18-year-old college student has changed the way he supports first-year undergrads. Doug also tells the story of his long relationship with composer John Luther Adams, including how a formative early experience with Strange and Sacred Noise eventually led to performances in the Alaskan tundra, floating stages in Central Park, and outdoor concerts where the audience hikes in and the environment becomes part of the piece. We wrap up with what's ahead for Doug, including significant projects, collaborations, performances, and the ongoing joy of bringing students into real work that proves their “crazy ideas” can matter in the world.Music from the Episode:Nagoya Marimbas (Steve Reich, composer - Todd Meehan & Doug Perkins, marimbas)XY (Michael Gordon, composer - Doug Perkins, percussion)Strange and Sacred Noise (John Luther Adams, composer - Morris Palter, Rob Esler, Steven Schick, & Doug Perkins - percussion)Thank you for listening.

This week on Earth Station Who, the crew heads back to the Fifth Doctor era to review “The Awakening,” a Doctor Who story that proves nothing good ever comes from ancient legends, spooky English villages, or people saying, “It's only a myth.” The Awakening mixes history, folklore, and alien mischief as fear itself becomes the ultimate weapon. We break down the story's atmosphere, themes, and where it lands among Fifth Doctor adventures—plus whether Saxon curses are ever really a good idea. We're also excited to welcome back original Earth Station Who co-host Dave West, who bravely takes a seat in the Whovian Geek Seat.

Jeff Aronson is Co-Founder and Managing Principal of Centerbridge Partners, a $43 billion alternative investment firm he started in 2005 after two decades at Angelo Gordon. Jeff's career spans forty years of investing across credit and private equity through multiple market cycles, giving him a front-row seat to the evolution of the alternatives industry. Our conversation covers Jeff's path from law school to distressed investing, lessons learned under mentors John Angelo and Michael Gordon, and the founding of Centerbridge with Mark Gallogly to bridge the worlds of private equity and credit.

Dr. Livingston introduced Michael Gordon, a serial entrepreneur, author, and digital health innovator, known for co-founding Teladoc and developing VoIP telephone lines. Michael shared his background in space physics, including his graduate work on the magnetosphere and involvement in the Hayley's comet probe project. He discusses his Tachyon Tunnel sci fi book series, which explores the concept of using tachyons to build tunnels for faster-than-light travel, addressing the challenges of interstellar travel without requiring infinite energy.Michael discussed his science fiction series, the Tachyon Tunnel Series, which explores human drama and interaction in the galaxy. He explained that the series, inspired by authors like Robert Heinlein, Asimov, and Andy Weir, follows characters who use tachyon tunnels to travel across the galaxy, discovering an existing network built by an unknown civilization. He described the series' themes, including the struggle against an evil empire and the mystery of who built the tachyon tunnel system. He also touched on the plausibility of tachyon tunnels in real life, noting that they would allow for rapid interstellar travel.Michael talked about his belief in the potential for tachyon tunnels as a method for intergalactic travel, emphasizing their superiority over wormholes due to the immense gravitational forces required for wormholes, which would be destructive. He referenced the book "Gravitation" by Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler, highlighting the current understanding of gravity and its limitations, while also mentioning the challenges of reproducing and raising children in space, a topic he plans to address in his third book. Michael also touched on the evolution of science fiction, praising the work of Roddenberry and Asimov for their realistic visions of the future, and discussed the potential for simulated gravity in space using centrifuges and constant acceleration.Our guest talked about future space travel and settlement, emphasizing the development of tachyon-like travel and interstellar flight, as well as the establishment of large cities in Lagrange points. He highlighted the need to address challenges like microgravity and radiation protection in space environments. Michael also noted the shift from government-led space exploration to private enterprise, predicting that capitalism will drive the next generation of space explorers and settlers. He addressed a caller's question about space farming, suggesting a combination of farming and food replicators in space cities, while acknowledging the challenges of long-duration space travel to distant stars.Michael also discussed his book series, which is available on Amazon, and mentioned that the second book has won six awards and was a bestseller. He explained his writing process, which involves parallel editing and a print-on-demand system. David also addressed questions about tachyons, the Fermi paradox, and the possibility of future technologies for interstellar communication, suggesting that quantum entanglement might play a role in future travel and communication methods.We discussed the concept of "spooky action at a distance" in physics, comparing it to the behavior of identical twins, and listener John mentioned a conversation with a physicist friend who humorously equated dark energy with the Holy Spirit. Michael also shared insights about plasma, its role in the universe, and a book titled "A New Science of Heaven" by Robert Temple, which explores the speculative nature of plasma self-organization. Michael encouraged us to read the book for a new perspective on definitions. Additionally, he addressed a physics student's question about confirming the existence of tachyons, suggesting that the task would be better suited for young theoretical physicists and expressing interest in any creative ideas they might propose.Our guest also discussed the rapid advancements in space technology and exploration, highlighting the exponential growth in capabilities over the next few decades. He mentioned meeting Buzz Aldrin, who noted that current devices have more power than the computers used during the Apollo missions. David predicted significant progress in space travel, including returning to the moon and potentially heading to Mars within 5-6 years, driven by companies like SpaceX. He also touched on the potential for new AI technologies to solve complex problems and the theoretical concept of imaginary mass particles with real energy, though no such particles have been detected yet.Caller John, a retired mathematician and aerospace worker, discussed his interest in science and physics, particularly through the Space Show. Michael expressed a desire to meet John, who David said was one of his informal science teachers, and mentioned his belief in the possibility of extraterrestrial life visiting Earth. David also touched on the challenges of discussing controversial topics like the Fermi Paradox and UFO sightings, noting the difficulty in separating rational evidence from nonsense. Finally, he reflected on the persistence of conspiracy theories, such as the moon landing and flat Earth beliefs, and expressed frustration at the lack of evidence to prove the negative of such claims.David read a listener email from Grok suggesting that tachyons, particles moving faster than light, might emit a form of Cherenkov radiation and could be detected in particle accelerators. He also shared an email from Todd asking about his book writing process, where he explained that he outlines the general storyline of the third book while writing the second, with the science and human drama being key elements of his storytelling.Black Holes and Space Exploration.Michael then discussed the role of black holes in his upcoming books, explaining that while they are relevant, they are not a major part of the current story. He also explored the concept of tachyon tunnels and the potential challenges of emerging from them in space, emphasizing the importance of mapping safe exit points. David shared insights on the current state of space debris and the efforts to clean it up. Michael compared the sparsity of objects in space to the density of people on Earth. He expressed interest in creating an audio version of his books and mentioned plans to follow up with the host regarding the release of Book 3.Before ending, Michael shared a personal story about his friend Charlie Duke, who was the lunar module pilot on Apollo 16 and one of only four living people who walked on the moon. He described Charlie's authentic and heartfelt stories about his moon landing experience, including an anecdote about attempting a lunar high jump that was cut short when NASA discovered the incident through a camera.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Children naturally operate from a place of knowing, questioning everything else but rarely questioning what they know to be true. By honoring this innate wisdom, we empower them to maintain a strong connection to their intuition. This changes our role. We shift from authority figure to facilitator of self-discovery.The journey of reconnecting with intuition is a constant weaving and unweaving. It requires a willingness to let go of preconceived notions and embrace the unknown. By honoring and celebrating the innocence of children, we create space for them and ourselves to cultivate self-trust and intuitive awareness.Embracing innocence involves redefining education and creating space for joyfulness. It's about inviting children and adults alike to trust themselves and explore the world with curiosity and wonder. By doing so, we unlock new possibilities for learning, growth, and connection.This special episode of Compass Conversations includes all of the board members for the Intuitive Learning Foundation. As they share their experiences and wisdom, we get a glimpse into the awareness, consciousness and vision that is guiding ILF. Together we are creating a space where young people, and people with decades of experience, can come together to rediscover our true nature. Podcast Participants:Andrew Freeman - https://masterpath.coherenceeducation.org/Michael Gordon - https://michiganross.umich.edu/faculty-research/faculty/michael-gordonGreta Franklin Matos - https://quilaquina.com/Chloe Garrison - www.intuitivelearningfoundation.orgKerri Lake - www.generateharmony.com
