Along the way, Patrick and Finbarr uncover some surprising differences between markets, including why the US has the highest proportion of businesses with contracts lasting three years or more, why UK businesses use more communications providers on average, and which country reports the highest satisfaction with its suppliers.There are a few confident guesses, several wrong answers and plenty of debate along the way.The conversation also highlights some of the wider trends emerging from Cavell's enterprise research, including how businesses are approaching AI, how communications estates vary between markets, and how working patterns continue to shape business communications.Key topics:- Global telecoms and communications trends- AI priorities and expected benefits- Telecoms buying criteria- Communications provider usage by country- Contract lengths and renewal patterns- Remote and hybrid working- Customer satisfaction with communications providers- Telephony integration with CRM, contact centre and collaboration platforms

Send us Fan MailSee our faces: https://youtu.be/8TVkTwT1kDgThe communications industry is entering a period of major change. AI is reshaping business models, customer expectations are evolving, and providers are under increasing pressure to find new sources of growth.In this episode of Cavell Cloud Conversations, Patrick Watson and Dom Black look ahead to the upcoming Cavell Summit in Boston, exploring the key themes shaping the communications market and what attendees can expect from the event.You can apply for a ticket here: https://www.cavell.com/event/cavell-summit-north-america/From AI-driven disruption and new revenue opportunities to the continued potential of core telephony, verticalisation and partnerships, Patrick and Dom discuss where they see the biggest opportunities emerging for providers, vendors and channel businesses.They also explore why events like Cavell Summit remain valuable in a market where relationships matter. The right conversation can lead to a new partnership, a customer opportunity or even an acquisition.Key Topics- Why disruption is becoming the default in communications- How AI is changing business models and creating new revenue opportunities- Where growth opportunities remain in UCaaS and core telephony- The increasing importance of verticalisation- How partnerships can help providers expand their offerings- The impact of market maturity and margin pressures- Changing customer expectations around AI and outcomes- Why networking remains critical to growth and strategic partnerships- What to expect from Cavell Summit BostonKey Takeaways- Disruption is now the default. Communications providers can no longer rely on the models that drove growth in the past.- AI is creating new commercial opportunities, but providers need to think beyond simply adding AI features to existing products.- Core telephony still has significant value, particularly when providers look at how to capture more revenue from their existing customer bases.- Verticalization is becoming increasingly important as providers look for ways to differentiate and expand into new markets.- Partnerships and relationships matter. Industry events can create opportunities that go far beyond networking, including new commercial partnerships, customer relationships and M&A.

The final installment of a five-part pilgrimage to the 2026 BIG EARS festival. At Big Ears, the Polish pianist and composer moved between two modes: the orchestral expansiveness of her piano concerto Non Fiction with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, and the arpeggiated synth patterns of her solo electronic alter ego Chilling Bambino—a love letter to her Prophet 8 and a chance to escape the rigor of classical composition for smaller, weirder rooms. She discusses why she created the alias ("people who don't know Hania Rani can just enter with curiosity"), the value of creating space to think in an overscheduled world, and the festival's ethos of genre refusal, where listening means staying with what you don't yet understand.Sound Propositions should be available wherever you get your podcasts, so please keep an eye out and subscribe (and rate and review, it helps others who might be interested find us).

Astrologers Chris Brennan and Patrick Watson explore the ancient timing technique known as Babylonian goal year periods, which can be used to identify repeating transits and events over very long spans of time. Recovered from the astronomical diaries of Mesopotamian sky watchers in the first millennium BCE, these periods demonstrate how the visible planets repeat their exact zodiacal placements and phase relationships with the Sun over predictable intervals. Our discussion breaks down the math behind these synodic cycles and highlights how repetition is the ultimate key to prediction in both mundane and natal astrology. By examining compelling historical case studies for each of the traditional planets, from the 1929 Wall Street Crash to major breakthroughs in modern communication technology, we show how tracking these ancient cycles allows astrologers to identify profound historical recurrences and project future events with stunning accuracy.

Send us Fan MailVoice has always been the most natural way for humans to communicate. As AI becomes more embedded into business technology, that natural interface is becoming increasingly important — not just for human-to-human conversations, but for the way people interact with machines, applications and automated services.In this episode of Cavell Cloud Conversations, Patrick Watson is joined by Michal Podoski, VP of Product Management at Dstny, to explore how voice is evolving beyond basic calling and becoming a strategic platform for service providers.The discussion looks at the challenges communication providers face when bringing next-generation voice services to market, including integration complexity, speed of delivery and the need to package capabilities in a way that customers can understand and buy. Patrick and Michal also discuss how voice can help service providers move from treating AI as a feature to building services that can be monetised, bundled and scaled.The episode also considers where voice is heading next, including the role of mobile, the growing convergence of AI and automation, and how providers can prepare for a future where voice becomes one of the primary interfaces between people, machines and business systems.

Quitter son pays pour s'inventer, ailleurs, une vie meilleure : c'est une histoire aussi vieille que l'humanité. Qui, selon les périodes, peut susciter rejet et crispations identitaires. Cette histoire, on la connaît bien en Occident. Mais si l'on parle souvent de ceux qui traversent la Méditerranée pour venir en Europe, que sait-on des migrations sur le sol africain ? Le film d'Erige Sehiri, « Promis le ciel », nous présente de beaux portraits de femmes qui ont trouvé refuge en Tunisie. Promis le ciel est le deuxième long métrage de fiction d'Erige Sehiri (qui avait réalisé Sous les Figues). Nous recevons la réalisatrice et deux de ses actrices : Aïssa Maïga qui incarne Marie, une femme Pasteur accueillant ses sœurs en exil à Tunis et Deborah Lobe Naney dans un rôle proche de ce qu'elle a vécu.

"Black Butterflies" The Vancouver-raised Rebecca Foon grew up with parents who were artists and activists, so it's no surprise that she became an artist and an activist herself. Let's start with the artist part. The Juno-award winning cellist, singer and composer Rebecca Foon has been in so many bands it's hard to keep track, so this is a partial list. No stranger to the post-rock and experimental world, Foon has been in Set Fire To Flames, Fifths Of Seven, A Silver Mt. Zion and the Gorecki Symphony Of Sorrow with Colin Stetson. She's also recorded under the Saltland moniker and she's the co-founder of the modern chamber ensemble Esmerine, whose 2013 Dalmak record won them a Juno. Under her own name Foon put out Waxing Moon in 2020 and the follow-up is the rather stunning new album Black Butterflies. Filled with sonorous vocals, inventive percussion and wondrous, sneaky rhythms, the reflective trip-hop groove of Black Butterflies summons the work of everyone from Massive Attack to Portishead. Redolent with rhythmic precision, musical dexterity and the kind of sonic architecture that builds worlds in the sky, Black Butterflies is a dose of real magic. Foon has collaborated with a list of luminaries like Laurie Anderson, Grant Hart, Nick Cave, British Sea Power, and Patrick Watson. As an activist and environmentalist, she's a member of the sustainability and climate change consulting cooperative Sustainability Solutions Group. A creative force powered by grace, Rebecca Foon is a real treasure. www.rebeccafoon.com www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com Stereo Embers: IG + BLUESKY: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Well, hello there and welcome once again to the AFA Podcast. We're back with another interview episode! This time we got the chance to speak with Oscar-nominated filmmakers Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski (Madame Tutli-Putli), directors of the wonderful stop-motion short The Girl Who Cried Pearls. As well as the new film, we discussed their career paths, their unconventional production method and "whatever you do, don't teach them anything!"Thanks to Nadine from The National Film Board of Canada for her help setting this interview up.

With handmade puppets, mesmerizing narration by Colm Feore and a haunting score by Patrick Watson, The Girl Who Cried Pearls is a timeless parable of desire, deception and the price of innocence.

El canadenc, amic de la fam

Canadian singer and composer Patrick Watson has been making records for almost a quarter century – with a cinematic blend of indie rock, cabaret pop, and chamber music that has made him a favorite of film directors and music supervisors.  His latest record, Uh Oh, is the result of a pretty big uh-oh moment for a singer: Watson lost his voice. He thought it was broken forever, and wrote a collection of songs and collaborations with other people - voices that he wanted to hear: among them the artists Charlotte Cardin, La Force, Martha Wainwright, and Klô Pelgag. Luckily, Watson managed to get his voice back;  he performs in-studio with his frequent collaborator, the singer/songwriter La Force.Set List: 1. Lonely Nights 2. Peter and the Wolf 3. House on Fire

What happens when you build a career being a singer-songwriter and then you permanently lose your voice? That's what happened to acclaimed musician Patrick Watson, whose life was completely upended for months due to that traumatic surprise. Without being able to sing his own music, Patrick turned his attention to writing and composing music for other people to sing. He thought he'd never sing again, but after saving his voice using a hyperbaric chamber, he decided to make a record with a variety of singers to help him out. Patrick joins Tom Power to tell the story of how losing his voice became a catalyst for his new album, “Uh Oh,”
