Podcasts about points of view

Well this episode does exactly what it says on the tin. After a message about them from one of our Patreons, David's decided he wants to use today's show to read out some of the less than positive Chatabix reviews left on Spotify. And some nice ones too, of course. Joe's not 100% sure it's a good idea to do it on the pod - but is intrigued enough to give it a go. So settle in for half an hour of listener's moans, compliments and complaints - it's like Points Of View for podcasting.

Speaking at a fringe event at Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre on Friday night Anderson, MP for Ashfield and chief whip for Reform UK, said: “Whether you like it or not, there are some teachers in our schools [who] are brainwashing our kids into their way of thinking".

Dave Brown, Lucy Trimnell and Rae Whitehouse debate the big stories from this week in education.

Join us for this one where they discuss the details behind the headlines. 

3/8. In The Iliad, Professor Emily Wilson highlights the narrative's sophisticated literary techniques, comparing them to an English novel. The poem expertly navigates between an omniscient narrator and individual characters' points of view, delving into their minds. Wilson also notes the challenges of translating ancient Greek, citing, for example, the existence of three distinct words for "spear," each carrying specific connections that she endeavors to render dynamically into modern English. This intricate storytelling was a hallmark of 7th-century BCE Greek. 1200 TROY

Yasmin Omar, Tarjinder Gill and Lucy Trimnell discuss the latest report highlighting the under performance of white disadvantaged students in exams.  Parts of the country where disadvantaged pupils perform worse at school are more likely to have large populations of poor white children, a new report suggests. The Institute for Government (IfG) think tank finds that disadvantaged white pupils in England have “particularly poor educational outcomes”. An analysis by the IfG looks at the “high impact” group of pupils - those for whom disadvantage disproportionately affects their performance - which it says is made up mostly of white British pupils.

'Cat's Cry' filmmaker Sanja Zivkovic sits down with VIFF Festival Programmer & Program Lead, Sonja Baksa, to talk about her global career spanning all the way from SFU's Burnaby campus to Serbia. 'Cat's Cry' first fell into Zivkovic's lap when the son of famous Serbian filmmaker Goran Paskaljević, Vlad Paskaljević, approached her with the possibility of reviving this moving screenplay following Goran Paskaljević's passing in September 2020. The work, 'Cat's Cry', is the true story of a couple fighting for custody of their granddaughter, who has been diagnosed with a unique condition called cat's cry syndrome. Zivkovic walks us through her approach to balancing male and female perspectives in features, her journey directing for a work she hasn't written herself (a first for the filmmaker), and how experiencing motherhood at the time of the film's conception influenced her approach to character work. Plus, a few words on her guilty pleasure, HBO's 'Sex and the City.'This episode was recorded during the 2024 Vancouver International Film Festival. This podcast is brought to you by the Vancouver International Film Festival.Presented on the traditional and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) nations.

On this summer edition of Points of View, our panel (Tarjinder Gill, Yasmin Omar, Rae Whitehouse and Lucy Trimnell) explore two big issues shaking the education world: the growing number of consultants and ex-teachers shaping school policy from the outside, and a controversial court case over the use of long-term isolation in schools. Is it possible to advise schools effectively without being in the classroom? What's the true cost of external expertise? And when does helpful CPD cross the line into 'snake oil'? Then, the discussion turns to a recent High Court ruling in favour of a Leeds school whose isolation policy was challenged by three pupils. The panel looks at the complex tensions between duty of care, student behaviour, teacher wellbeing, and the limits of the judicial system in shaping school policy.

Tarjinder Gill, Tom Rogers and Lucy Trimnell discuss the huge controversy this week involving a school's culture day. A diversity day at a secondary school ended in upset and apologies after a 12-year-old girl wearing a union flag dress was prevented from delivering a speech she had written about British culture.

Our panellists discuss the biggest stories from the week gone by in education; Schools managing huge numbers of AI generated complaints from parents, school suspensions reach nearly 1 million in 2023/2024 and one academy trust decides to ban skirts. Join Tarjinder Gill, Carl Smith, Lucy Trimnell and Rae Whitehouse for this one. 

Tom Rogers, Rae Whitehouse and Lucy Trimnell discuss the latest news and views in the education world. They discuss whether grit can be taught and news that 25% of secondary parents and 12% of primary parents have concerns over the condition of school toilets. 

Discover the pros and cons of writing a novel from multiple POVs—including how to avoid the #1 mistake that kills multi-POV novels.Are multiple point-of-view characters right for your story? Will they create the kind of depth that keeps readers hooked, or will they just leave you with a tangled mess of voices that never quite click together?Writing a multi-POV novel is one of the most challenging approaches to storytelling. When done well, it creates a rich, immersive experience that readers absolutely love. But when done poorly, it can completely derail your entire manuscript.In today's episode, I'll explain what it means to write a multiple-point-of-view novel, how it differs from other narrative approaches, and if it's the right choice for your story.You'll hear me talk about things like:[03:05] Why most writers confuse multiple POV with omniscient POV and how this one mistake can sabotage your entire story.[04:50] The surprising way multiple perspectives create story depth that makes readers think about your book long after finishing it (think Game of Thrones level complexity).[07:15] My favorite "secret weapon" technique that uses contrasting viewpoints to create those jaw-dropping "aha" moments readers can't stop talking about.[11:00] The #1 challenge that kills most multi-POV novels before they're even finished (hint: it's not plot structure, and it's definitely not what you think).[15:25] Five make-or-break questions to ask yourself before committing to multiple POVs (because choosing the wrong narrative approach can derail months of hard work.)If you've been wondering whether your story needs different character perspectives or if you're already writing from multiple points of view but feel overwhelmed by the nuances, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence you need to move forward.

Dave Brown, Tarjinder Gill, Will Mercer and Jo Fox are on the panel for Points of View where they discuss whether children should be taught the value of the military at school (a new proposal in the UK strategic defence review) and they then look at whether unions should involve themselves in wider political discourse and debate beyond education. 

In this episode of Points of View on Teachers Talk Radio, Yasmin Omar, Lucy Trimnell and Rae Whitehouse tackle some of the most pressing and complex issues facing education this week. They begin by discussing the rise of misogynistic attitudes among young people, exploring the impact of pornography, social media influences, and figures like Andrew Tate, while debating the roles of parents, schools, and wider society in addressing these challenges. The conversation also covers the increasing burden placed on schools to manage societal problems and the limitations teachers face without sufficient support or resources. Later, the panel examines a case from the United States where a school stabbing incident raises urgent questions about teacher responsibility during violent events, the expectations placed on staff, and how schools can and should respond to serious safeguarding issues. Throughout the show, the hosts offer honest reflections on their professional experiences, frustrations, and hopes for a more supportive and realistic approach to safeguarding and education in an increasingly complicated world. Brought to you in partnership with John Catt Educational – supporting professional development for educators worldwide.

Join Tom Rogers, Yasmin Omar, Tarjinder Gill, Lucy Trimnell and Will Mercer for this episode of Points of View. They discuss Amanda Spielman being awarded a peerage in the House of Lords.

In this episode of Points of View, we sit down with Mary Joyce, a serial entrepreneur turned M&A advisor at Corum Group, whose career spans decades of innovation across industries including automotive, medical, aerospace, and AI.  Mary shares how selling her own company without an advisor became a defining moment—one that fueled her transition into tech M&A. With 14 U.S. patents to her name and a deep background in SaaS and embedded systems, she brings a unique perspective to the dealmaking process.  Tune in as we explore what Mary learned from exiting as a founder, how she now guides others through the emotional and strategic complexities of M&A, and why timing, preparation, and the right advisor can make all the difference.  Whether you're a founder, buyer, or fellow dealmaker, this is a rare look into the mind of someone who's been on both sides of the table.

Writing from different gender perspectives is about finding the balance between authenticity and individuality. Authors can write male and female perspectives that resonate deeply with readers by focusing on each character's objective perspective, understanding their inner world, and staying true to their personal experiences. Gender influences the lens, but the depth of the character ultimately connects with the audience.

Louis Gump is a digital veteran. He was at the heart of the digital revolution in 2001 as part of the team at The Weather Channel and then moved to helping CNN develop their first ever mobile app based approach to expanding their audience across the world. Louis is now also the author of 'The Inside Innovator' which is an Amazon Bestseller. I ask Louis about the current issue of 'fake news' and the polarisation of society. He considers this to be one of the most important issues facing us today. He says that 'reliable and professionally produced news that is fact based is critical to our society.'Intrapreneurship is described by Louis as 'creating value through innovation and growth through a larger organisation.' He explains that it remains the close cousin of the entrepreneur.Some organisations fear that great intrapreneurs will want to become entrepreneurs and exit the business to start their own ventures. Those who embrace their intrapreneurs find that the benefits outweigh the perceived risks. Why would you want to encourage intrapreneurs? One primary reason is that they drive a large proportion of the future value of companies and it helps train the next generation of leaders within.   Another critical aspect of intrapreneurship is the acceptance of a degree of risk and failure and self understanding that the success will come from failure. Failure to keep reinventing can lead to examples such as Kodak and Blockbuster. Many CEO's fear their organisations becoming irrelevant in an era of constant change. Disruption comes as a function of being a steward of a companies brand. Leaders listening to this episode need to:  1. Create a budget for intrapreneurship2. Ensure the budget goes to the right people and ideas3. Consider what evaluation criteria you need to put in place that match the task. The key message is identify your most promising talent and give them assignments to innovate. It delivers results for the business and trains the leaders of tomorrow.  The key traits in identifying the right talent include: 1. Curiosity2. Action oriented3. Ability to build bridges 4. Risk tolerance 5. Grounded optimismwww.louisgump.comWatch & Subscribe:

n an interesting and eye opening episode of Discussion and Drinks, Jimmy and Mike welcome Jimmy's best buddies from Indiana Mike Earley.  The two are often on opposing sides when it comes to politics and religion, but still maintain a strong friendship.  The boys talk about how recently people are drawing lines in the sand when it comes to their political views and closing themselves off to being civil with other people and even ending relationships over it.  The importance of being informed, being open to other opinions and not taking things personally.  It's a real eye opener, a somehow serious discussion and hopefully you walk away from this with new perspective!Get some more helpings of BIMP at http://www.patreon.com/baconismypodcastFind everything else BIMP:Twitter: @BaconisMyPodInstagram: @BaconisMyPodFacebook: www.facebook.com/baconismypodAnd of course our website: www.baconismypodcast.comWant some visual Bacon is My Podcast?Check out this episode and all others on Strangerhood TV on YouTube.www.strangerhoodtv.com and make sure to check out all the other great content on the channel!Get additional BIMP content at www.patreon.com/baconismypodcastWe're proudly sponsored by Manscaped and when you use the promo code BACONPOD at manscaped.com you'll get 20% your entire order!We'd like to introduce our new sponsor, Mythical Beards as well!  Use the promo code BACON15 for 15% off at mythicalbeards.comDon't forget to use the promo code BACON at our sponsors NativeBlendClothing.com, DrinkWildBills.com, PodDecks.com and GrillYourAssOff.com the best deals on your order!#podcast #baconismypassion #strangerhoodtv #youtubechannel #youtubepodcast #cravingstrange #somethingheavy #betterthanradio #baconismypodcast #poweredbypoddecks #manscaped #drinkwildbills #grillyourassoff #mythicalbeards ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Reggie Watts (bandleader on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Comedian/Writer/Actor) joins us to break down his experiences with depression and psychedelics, the science behind addiction and improvisation, and his plans after The Late Late Show with James Corden comes to an end. He discusses growing up on air force bases and as one of the only POC in his town, the factors from his childhood that influenced his humor and creativity, and what the Seattle grunge music scene was really like in the 90's. Reggie opens up about experiencing depression derived from body image issues, a bottleneck in creativity, and the current state of humanity. He considers how psychedelics can be used as tools to gain self-understanding, shares the importance of incorporating transcendental experiences into everyday life, and he and Jonathan bond over their optimism about technology.Reggie Watts' Band, Wajatta: https://wajatta.lnk.to/downReggie Watts' App, WattsApp: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wattsapp-by-reggie-watts/id1489429381BialikBreakdown.comYouTube.com/mayimbialik
