The People In The Fog is a moniker of DJ Sodeyama. He has been a stalwart of the Tokyo underground for nearly three decades, cutting his teeth in the 90's and retaining a key presence at the forefront of Japan's house music scene. Over the years he has released a sprawling array of music under a few monikers on the likes of Zenit, Rekids, Quartz and трип. However most recently he has been operating under the guise of The People In The Fog which has afforded him the chance to dig deeper into his sound channeling elements of funk, downtempo and the dubbier undertones of house. He has released this material on Japanese record label Sound Of Vast and for dj's in the know those records have become a 'buy on sight' scenario. This mix showcases versatility and class. Tight blends, excellent, deep thoughtful selections.

In deze aflevering van Mannen van de Tijd hebebn de mannen het over de Quartz crisis. Een korte geschiedenis, welke merken hadden profijt en is het wel een crisis te noemen? Dat en meer in Mannen van de Tijd.

Heavy Metal has always had it's share of misunderstood meaning in it's lyrics. Yes, some of the lyrics are quite clear: sex, old Beelzebub, and rock n roll. But there are a number of classic tunes that Joe and Jane Average lost the plot with. Tunes from Ozzy/Sabbath, Maiden and Twisted Sister have has their unjustified criticisms. Songs that got their panties in a bunch but all knew better. So this week we made a list and are "counting them down". In our "News, Tunes and Views", we examine the close connection between "Star Wars" and "Carrie" and perform an air drum solo over the air. Musically, we crank some Nuclear Assault, Razor, Mantas (pre Death), Quartz, Eviction, Crusader and we introduce Canuck metallers Cruzer in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up! 

When it comes to what proportion of people speak more than one language, estimates vary but the general consensus is that at least half of the world's population do so. If you're bilingual, you may well have encountered a fascinating phenomenon: that a new personality seems to emerge when you switch languages. In March 2017, Quartz ran an article on the subject, written by Nicola Prentis. Prentis included accounts from a number of multilingual people, including Margarita, a Russian-American immigrant who fled the Soviet Union to escape anti-Semitism at the age of 19. Margarita revealed that when she speaks Russian, she feels 'guarded, reserved and uncomfortable.' How is it possible? And are we necessarily more at ease in our own native language?

On this episode of Mind the Gap, Jon Hutchinson is joined by journalist and author Jenny Anderson to discuss her acclaimed new book The Disengaged Teen—a powerful exploration of why so many young people are tuning out of school and what we can do about it. Drawing on extensive research, real-world stories, and her own experience as both a parent and reporter, Jenny introduces her framework of four learner modes—passenger, achiever, resistor, and explorer—and explains how these shifting states shape young people's engagement. Together, Jon and Jenny delve into the mental health crisis, the limitations of hyper-achievement, and why motivation and agency matter more than ever in the age of AI. Jenny argues that school systems must evolve to reflect the world students are entering, without sacrificing depth or rigour. “How you feel about learning,” she says, “is inseparable from how well you learn.” This conversation is both a wake-up call and a hopeful invitation—for educators, parents, and policymakers alike—to reimagine what it means to truly engage today's children and young people.Jenny Anderson is an author and an award-winning journalist who spent over a decade at The New York Times before pioneering coverage on the science of learning at Quartz. She contributes to TIME, The New York Times and The Atlantic, among other publications. Most recently, she has written The Disengaged Teen, which you can find at https://www.thedisengagedteen.com/.

Dans son livre Parler plusieurs langues : le monde des bilingues, l'universitaire François Grosjean écrit que plus de la moitié de la population mondiale est capable de s'exprimer dans au moins deux langues. Rien qu'en France, 20% d'entre nous possèdent cette capacité, sans parler des pays qui possèdent plusieurs langues officielles comme la Belgique ou l'Afrique du Sud. Si vous êtes bilingue, vous avez donc peut-être déjà fait l'expérience d'un curieux phénomène : une nouvelle personnalité qui émerge chez vous quand vous changez de langue.  Dans un article publié sur le site d'information Quartz et repris par Courrier International, la journaliste Nicola Prentis interviewe Margarita, Russe de naissance qui a immigré aux Etats-Unis dans sa jeunesse. Elle écrit ainsi : "Quand Margarita parle russe, elle dit se sentir 'sur ses gardes, réservée, mal à l'aise'. Mais quand elle parle anglais, elle se décrit comme 'curieuse', 'extravertie' et 'libre'." Comment est-ce possible ? On n'est donc pas forcément plus à l'aise dans notre langue natale ?

After more than three years of intense fighting following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the path to end the war has been challenging. President Trump has been aggressively pushing both Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin toward a peace deal as part of Trump's campaign promise to quickly end the war. Meanwhile, energy has emerged as a critical factor, functioning both as a weapon and target in this war. The peace deal Trump envisions would reportedly include U.S. control of the Ukrainian electrical supply and its nuclear power plants. And separately, the Trump administration has been working on a mineral deal with Ukraine for months. But developing any of those resources would take time because Ukraine's energy infrastructure has been severely crippled by war. In parts of Ukraine blackouts have become the norm. So what are the potential paths for peace ahead for Ukraine and how might sharing its mineral or energy resources with the U.S. play into those options? How has Ukraine's energy infrastructure fared during the war? And what energy security lessons can other countries learn from this conflict? This week, Jason Bordoff talks with Kyiv-based climate and energy reporter Tim McDonnell about the role that energy has played in the war in Ukraine and how it could factor into its resolution. Tim is the climate and energy editor for Semafor, where he writes the Net Zero newsletter, and is also a reporter for Quartz. He has covered the business and science of climate change for more than 10 years and has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Economist, among other publications. Tim lives in and reports from Kyiv and is writing a book about the role of energy in the Ukraine conflict. He joined the podcast to talk about the role energy plays in this conflict. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless. Produced by Mary Catherine O'Connor, Caroline Pitman, and Kyu Lee. Engineering by Sean Marquand. Stephen Lacey is executive producer.

The discussion leads into re-edited trailers that change film genres (What About Bob, The Shining). Paranormal news headlines are teased, including a man arrested for collecting periodic table elements and Argentina releasing secret Nazi documents. 00:30:00 --> 00:40:00 – Focus shifts to a viral story about a Chinese woman living in a workplace toilet to save on rent. The hosts review images and videos of her setup and speculate about her living conditions. Mike plays a satirical rock ballad he wrote called “Living in a Chinese Toilet.” 00:40:00 --> 00:50:00 – The conversation returns to the Nazi documents released by Argentina. They discuss the possibility of Hitler having escaped to Argentina and its potential historical implications. Theories about U.S. intelligence knowing but covering it up are explored, along with links to post-war intelligence programs and Antarctica. 00:50:00 --> 01:00:00 – They explore absurd ideas about Hitler in retirement mode, drinking pina coladas in beachwear. Then a shift to food trends: the team mocks the marketing of protein-added foods like coffee and chips. They introduce the legend of “Little Foot,” a small Bigfoot-like creature spotted in Pennsylvania. 01:00:00 --> 01:10:00 – The legend of the “Albatwitch” (Little Foot) is explored further, including historical sightings, folklore, and a local festival. Researchers and authors discuss theories ranging from escaped primates to young Bigfoot. Quartz deposits and strange disappearances in the area are also touched on. 01:10:00 --> 01:20:00 – Mike shares a personal family story resembling a missing 411 case, where his grandfather disappeared mysteriously in Pennsylvania. Listeners call in, discussing cryptid sightings and humanoid encounters, including creatures crawling from drains and explosions with no explanation. 01:20:00 --> 01:30:00 – A caller talks about vacationing in Argentina and visiting German-influenced towns possibly tied to post-WWII Nazi escapees. They describe tourist-friendly areas, statues, and being asked for papers in an eerily “authentic” way. The discussion drifts into absurdity about Hitler disguises and statues with rubbed-down anatomy. 01:30:00 --> 01:40:00 – More listener calls cover cryptids possibly being ancient genetic experiments. Topics include dogmen, fallen angels, and Nephilim. There's discussion about a theory where dogmen are creations of hybridization or supernatural tinkering, and how various cryptids may have originated from biblical or mythological events. 01:40:00 --> 01:50:00 – A news story about Florida ranking among the best states to survive an alien invasion is covered and mocked. The group critiques the bizarre criteria used, including caves and healthcare access, and compares state rankings. They explore the absurdity of a website called "Gigacalculator" being the authority on alien readiness. 01:50:00 --> 02:00:00 – Ohio ranks #19 in alien invasion survival, while states like Nevada and Arizona are at the bottom. They joke about calculating alien defense readiness with giggle-based math. Another local story is covered about a Portland man repeatedly finding gallons of urine in his recycling bin. Speculation includes tiger urine sales and the return of the woman living in the toilet exporting her waste.

We then talk about the lives of women in socialist countries, how state socialist countries failed women, the transition to capitalism, work and the economic situation of women, motherhood and gender roles, women in leadership positions, and women's sex lives.

In this episode of On Boards, hosts Joe Ayoub and Raza Shaikh welcome Dr. Angela Jackson, founder of Future Forward Strategies, an award-winning social entrepreneur, a global C-Suite executive, and an experienced board member. She discusses the board's role in holding leadership accountable for “people strategies” and ensuring companies remain competitive in a rapidly evolving business environment. Her new book “The Win-Win Workplace: How Thriving Employees Drive Bottom-Line Success” will be published on March 11, 2025 and will be available from all major book retailers. Key Takeaways 1.    Workforce Wellbeing as a Strategy: ○     Dr. Jackson emphasizes the importance of viewing employee wellbeing as a core business strategy rather than just a set of HR policies, noting that companies with high employee wellbeing see 23% higher profitability and 43% lower turnover. 2.    Board Oversight and Accountability: ○     Boards should regularly evaluate metrics such as employee engagement, retention rates, and turnover costs, and tie executive compensation to key people-related outcomes. 3.    The Role of Inclusion and Investing in Employees: ○     Despite changes in external policies, companies should maintain their commitment to inclusion to foster trust, reduce risk and drive business outcomes ○     Staying proactive on workforce sentiment helps companies respond to potential risks before they escalate. 4.    Grow Your Own Deep Talent Bench  Strategy: ○     Developing internal talent pipelines reduces turnover by 40%, increases employee engagement by 20%, and builds a more resilient organization. Companies prioritizing internal mobility fill 63% of open roles internally and are 2.2x more likely to outperform competitors. 5.    Mitigating Workforce-Related Risks: ○     Dr. Jackson highlights how companies can reduce legal risks and avoid reputational damage by staying consistent with core values and policies.   Quotes “At its core, DEI was about creating workspaces where people could actually show up, be their best selves, and contribute. I'm not going to die on the sword of an acronym, but we must maintain that spirit.” “Keeping our finger on the pulse of employee sentiment is going to be more important than ever. When there's uncertainty at the highest levels in the country, that trickles down to the day to day.” “Win-Win Workplace strategies protect companies from workforce instability, reputational damage, and labor crises in a tight labor market.” “When employees love where they work and what they do, they tell everyone. They are our first customers if you're doing it the right way.” Guest Bio Dr. Angela Jackson is the founder of Future Forward Strategies, a labor market intelligence, design thinking, and strategy firm that helps leaders transform organizations and develop the human capital infrastructure essential for maintaining competitiveness while driving positive impact. With a focus on public, private, and non-profit sectors, Dr. Jackson's work centers on creating innovative solutions for the future of work. As a lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Dr. Jackson teaches the next generation of students about entrepreneurship in the education marketplace. She was also the architect of the Future of Work Grand Challenge, a groundbreaking initiative designed to rapidly re-skill 25,000 displaced workers into living-wage jobs within 24 months. Dr. Jackson's expertise lies in crafting a future of work that is inclusive and sustainable. She has shared her insights at prominent conferences such as TEDx, Concordia Summit, Techonomy, ASU + GSV, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Digital Empowers National Summit, and Black Women Talk Tech. Her work and thought leadership have been featured in outlets including CNN, Stanford Social Innovation Review, Quartz, Harvard Business Review, and more.

In this episode, we dive into the ongoing debate: Should watch microbrands embrace quartz movements more often? While mechanical watches often steal the spotlight, quartz movements offer affordability, accuracy, and reliability—yet many collectors turn their noses up at them. We discuss the pros and cons of quartz in the microbrand space, why some brands hesitate to use them, and whether the stigma against quartz is justified. Are collectors missing out, or is mechanical always king? Join the conversation as we break it all down and share our thoughts on the future of quartz in the world of independent watchmaking!

All sorts of statistics related to immigration are being thrown around in debates, speeches and campaign ads ahead of this year’s election. Immigration estimates are painstakingly calculated by various government agencies. But lately, economists have been wrangling with wide gaps between some of these numbers. On the show today, Jed Kolko, former under secretary for economic affairs at the U.S. Department of Commerce, explains how government agencies actually crunch immigration numbers, why two agencies’ estimates aren’t matching up right now and why accurate immigration data is crucial to how we understand the economy and setting economic policy. Then, we’ll get into why the ongoing dockworkers’ strike is about more than just higher wages. And, we’ll get smarter about a common cooking herb. Here’s everything we talked about today: “Can new data solve an immigration puzzle?” from Slow Boring “What we know about unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S.” from Pew Research Center “Unprecedented U.S. immigration surge boosts job growth, output” from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas “Key findings about U.S. immigrants” from Pew Research Center “New immigration estimates help make sense of the pace of employment” from Brookings “Opinion | The real reason 47,000 dock workers are on strike: Automation” from The Washington Post “Robots, automation a big factor in U.S. port strike” from Quartz “Tim Walz and JD Vance’s 2024 VP debate is tonight. Here’s what to know.” from CBS News Help us reach our Fall Fundraiser goal to hear from 2,500 Marketplace Investors. Give right now: https://support.marketplace.org/smart-sn

If you're lucky, it's possible you've never thought much about sitting. It's just something your body does, like breathing or sleeping. But in the last decade or so, sitting has stepped into the spotlight, as a kind of villain. In today's episode, Slate's Dan Kois tells us about his radical experiment to go without sitting for an entire month. Then to understand why sitting is under attack we look back at an earlier posture panic around slouching, and explore the role of hostile architecture. This episode was written by Max Freedman and Willa Paskin and produced by Max. We produce Decoder Ring with Katie Shepherd and Evan Chung. Derek John is Executive Producer. Merritt Jacob is Senior Technical Director. You heard  “Sitting” by TJ Mack, aka Brian Jordan Alvarez, as remixed by Josh Mac. We'd like to thank Stephen Nessen and Rob Robinson. For some of the background on hostile architecture, we are indebted to the late Mike Davis's book, City of Quartz, and in particular Chapter 4: “Fortress L.A.” Check out Dan Kois' New York Magazine article about his exploits, “Sitting Is Bad for You. So I Stopped. For a Whole Month.”  If you haven't please yet, subscribe and rate our feed in Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. And even better, tell your friends.
