Stewart Purvis is probably the pre-eminent broadcast news journalist of his time. A former editor of Channel 4 news, he went on to become ITN's Chief Executive – and then the poacher turned gamekeeper. The now Professor Purvis served as one of the content regulators at Ofcom and oversaw standards cases involving the BBC between 2007 and 2010. In 2015 he was a member of the BBC Charter Review Advisory Group and has been a non executive director of Channel 4 among many, many other things. We discuss GB News, the BBC's role and cuts, the merger of the BBC news channels, the Charter Review in 2015 and the BBC's relationship with government.“My concern about their decisions on GB News is…that looks like a policy decision. That we, the British government and Ofcom are going to change the approach on British television to impartiality.”“I would hope that with the departure of Richard Sharp as the chairman of the BBC Tim Davie will be free with the next chair, whoever it may be, to work out their agenda for debate. To take account quite properly of the government's view, but not to be on their knee to the government's agenda of the day, which I think is close to what the BBC has been in recent months, at least in policy terms, if not in on the air terms, in what they perceive to be what the government wanted them to do about impartiality.”Support the podcast by signing up here Find all our podcasts here @BeebRoger@RogerBolton@mastodonapp.ukemail: roger@rogerboltonsbeebwatch.com Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

The BBC Chairman Richard Sharp recently resigned in controversial circumstances. He failed to declare how he helped former prime minister (PM) Boris Johnson to get a million-dollar loan guarantee. Johnson, the PM at the time, appointed Sharp to the top BBC job, and many in the UK are saying this is an example of Tory cronyism. And on top of all that, the Guardian, a prominent British newspaper has been accused of anti-Semitism after it published a cartoon portraying Mr Sharp (who is Jewish) as some kind of puppet master.
This Saturday May 6th, the UK will celebrate the coronation of King Charles III. But what is the political impact of such an event? And what is the relevance of the monarchy today? Rory and Alastair will discuss this historic event, plus Richard Sharp's exit from the BBC, the impending energy crisis in Europe, and the importance of teaching speaking skills.Sign up to the free TRIP weekly newsletter:bit.ly/3zhYAIlTRIP Plus:Become a member of The Rest Is Politics Plus to support the podcast, enjoy ad-free listening to both TRIP and Leading, benefit from discount book prices on titles mentioned on the pod, join our Discord chatroom, and receive early access to live show tickets and Question Time episodes.

Welcome to this week's Weekly Sceptic podcast – episode 35! Nick and Toby discuss their hilarious new insults from their deranged Twitter hate followers. Nick comes face to face with the North London blob — no, that's not a euphemism for the Jews — and he and Toby wonder what kind of person goes to Alistair Campbell's podcast live? Toby and Nick discuss whether the cartoon of Richard Sharp in The Guardian was antisemitic or not. And whether Richard Sharp's appointment after helping Boris get a six figure loan was a greater conflict of interest than Sue Gray's (secret) relationship with Starmer while she was leading the Partygate investigation. Jess Philips got caught out in what sounds like a lie regarding when she bought her first home – Toby and Nick discuss what was behind her weirdly conflicting claims. A scathing critique of Andrew Bridgen appeared in Spiked, which Nick and Toby disagree about — Toby thinks Andrew does the cause no favours by exaggerating vaccine harms, whereas Nick thinks you shouldn't kick a man when he's down. This week's first sponsor is The Stack Assistant and you can reach him to organise a free Zoom consultation about Bitcoin at thestackassistant@pm.me Nick complains that this podcast is interfering with his carefully-planned footballing diet – so eats a sandwich. After which the boys discuss Steven Crowder's divorce, whether Crowder should invest in a bike and whether Toby made a mistake by buying a Ring doorbell. Nick toys with a new section about our American cousins — provisionally-entitled ‘Pond Scum' — and then goes on to discuss Tucker Carlson's mega watched video and whether a political career beckons for him.

But this story goes much wider than one man, one job and an £800k loan to Boris Johnson.

Am kommenden Samstag wird Star-Moderator Gary Lineker wieder im Fernsehen zu sehen sein. Aufgrund seiner Kritik an der britischen Asylpolitik hatte ihn die BBC vorübergehend suspendiert. Doch die Wogen gehen weiter hoch: Stehen sich BBC und Politik zu nahe?
Mid-Atlantic - conversations about US, UK and world politics
This weekend, Match of the Day was broadcast without presenters, pundits, or commentators after Gary Lineker was suspended from the BBC for breaching impartiality guidelines with his criticism of the government's asylum policies. In solidarity with Lineker, Ian Wright, Alan Shearer, and other pundits have refused to present the show, leading the BBC to only feature match footage. Initially, the BBC had put pressure on Lineker to agree to their terms on his future use of social media, but on Monday, the Corporation did a u-turn in the face of public pressure after Lineker's suspension had been widely criticized. This has now led to calls for BBC chair Richard Sharp to resign for his mishandling of the affair.Roifield is joined by a group of British pundits to discuss this momentous weekend in British politics, in which football, immigration policy, and free speech all collided. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The BBC called a truce Monday in its showdown with sports commentator Gary Lineker, reversing its suspension of the former football great for a tweet that criticized the U.K. government's contentious new migration policy. The about-face followed a weekend of chaos and crisis for Britain's publicly funded national broadcaster, which faced a huge backlash after sidelining one of its best-known hosts because he expressed a political opinion. "Gary is a valued part of the BBC and I know how much the BBC means to Gary, and I look forward to him presenting our coverage this coming weekend," BBC Director-General Tim Davie said. Lineker, 62, said he was "glad that we have found a way forward." The furor stems from a plan announced last week by Britain's Conservative government to try to stop tens of thousands of migrants a year from reaching the country in small boats across the English Channel. A new bill will bar asylum claims by anyone who reaches the U.K. by unauthorized means and will compel the government to detain and deport them "to their home country or a safe third country." The legislation has been condemned by refugee groups and the U.N., and the government concedes it may breach international law. Lineker, one of England's most lauded players and the corporation's highest-paid television presenter, was suspended after he described the plan on Twitter as "immeasurably cruel" and called the government's language "not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s." The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail — two right-leaning newspapers long critical of the BBC — expressed outrage over what they described in headlines as Lineker's "Nazi" comment, although he hadn't used the word. The Conservative government called Lineker's comparison offensive and unacceptable, and some lawmakers said the BBC should sack him. The broadcaster announced Friday that Lineker would be "stepping back" until he agreed to keep his tweets within BBC impartiality rules. Critics accused the BBC of suppressing free speech, and it was forced to scrap much of its weekend sports programming after commentators, analysts and Premier League players refused to appear on air as a show of support for Lineker. The flagship "Match of the Day" program was reduced from the usual 90 minutes of highlights and analysis to a 20-minute compilation of clips from the day's games, without commentary or punditry. Other TV and radio football shows were pulled from the schedule on Saturday and Sunday as the boycott spread. Davie insisted Monday that the BBC "did the right thing" by suspending Lineker, but said there would now be an independent review of its social media rules to address "gray areas" in the guidelines. "Between now and when the review reports, Gary will abide by the editorial guidelines," he said. Davie said the BBC "has a commitment to impartiality in its Charter," as well as a commitment to freedom of expression. "That is a difficult balancing act to get right," he said. The furor reflects the distinctive nature of U.K. media, where newspapers are highly opinionated and news broadcasters are required to be balanced — especially the taxpayer-funded BBC, which has a duty to be impartial. The crisis dramatically illustrated the pressures long faced by the 100-year-old BBC in an increasingly polarized political and media world. Those on the right often sense a leftist slant in the broadcaster's news output, while some liberals accuse it of having a conservative bias. Opposition politicians have accused the government of meddling by pushing for Conservative-friendly bosses for the BBC. Davie is former Conservative local-government candidate. BBC chairman Richard Sharp is a Conservative Party donor who helped arrange a loan in 2021 for then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson, weeks before Sharp was appointed to the BBC post on the government's recommendation. The Conservatives also periodically suggest changing the BBC's funding model. It gets much of its money from a license fee paid by all households with a television. The opposition Labour Party's culture and media spokeswoman, Lucy Powell, said the Conservatives "have long wanted to undermine the BBC." "As well as a review of the BBC's social media guidelines, this saga should prompt the government to examine how it protects and promotes a truly independent and impartial BBC," she said. As part of its commitment to impartiality, the BBC bars news staff from expressing political opinions. Lineker, as a freelancer who doesn't work in news or current affairs, isn't bound by the same rules, and has sometimes pushed the boundaries of what the BBC considers acceptable. Last year, the BBC found that Lineker breached its rules with a tweet about alleged donations from Russians to the Conservatives. James Harding, a former BBC director of news, said the corporation has got into a "muddle" over the issue of impartiality. He said it was important that the broadcaster "that delivers news and information that informs the country is impartial," but added: "You can't get to a world in which the BBC is policing the opinions of every writer, director, musician, sports personality, scientist, business entrepreneur." Lineker said it had been "a surreal few days" and thanked colleagues for their support. And he showed no signs of stopping his use of social media. "A final thought: however difficult the last few days have been, it simply doesn't compare to having to flee your home from persecution or war to seek refuge in a land far away," he tweeted to his 8.8 million followers. "It's heartwarming to have seen the empathy towards their plight from so many of you." - JILL LAWLESS Associated PressSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr Tom Mills, a sociologist at Aston University, has written a book called 'The BBC: Myth of a Public Service'. It claims to set aside both liberal and conservative fantasies about the institution, and says that far from being a sanctuary for independent journalism, the BBC is intimately connected to the power it is supposed to hold to account. We discuss issues raised in the book on organisational culture, reform, accountability as well as the ongoing controversy surrounding the appointment of the BBC chairman Richard Sharp.

On Tuesday Richard Sharp the BBC chairman faced questions from the Department of culture, media and sport select committee. They were examining the process of the appointment of the BBC chairman, and as the committee which approved his appointment were they given the relevant information it could and should have known about. Richard Ayre, a former controller of editorial policy and deputy chief executive of BBC news and a former member of the OFCOM content board discusses with Roger Bolton the chairman's appearance. “After the performance today, I think within the BBC, there will be very, very considerable disquiet among the staff, and among many licence fee payers. And I think they'll be right to be disquieted. And I think it may well be that Sharp feels the right thing to do is to step down in the fullness of time.” Support the podcast by subscribing here.

Rishi Sunak promised to draw a line under the scandalous Boris Johnson era when he became Prime Minister, but Tory sleaze seems here to stay. He is facing serious questions over the integrity of his party after a succession of allegations against senior figures. Anoosh Chakelian, Freddie Hayward and Will Dunn, the New Statesman's business editor, try to figure out what's going – from Boris Johnson's loan allegedly facilitated by the BBC chairman Richard Sharp and his million-pound donation from the businessman Christopher Harborne, to the investigation into Nadhim Zahawi's tax affairs. The team discuss Sunak's political naivety and ask whether the stories are bad only for the government or, in fact, tarnish all politicians and parties. Then in You Ask Us a listener asks why campaigners keep calling for all sorts of new protected characteristics under the Equality Act.

Aan tafel zitten Ingrid Spijkers, Wouter de Winther en Spraakmaker Marjan van der Haar Het Mediamoment van De Winther is een hartverwarmende tweet van VVD kamerlid Peter Valstar. Vraagt het om meer medemenselijkheid tonen in de berichtgeving van parlementaire journalistiek? Is er genoeg aandacht voor de fijne omgangsvormen buiten het debat? En is daar wel behoefte aan bij de nieuwsconsument? Het Mediamoment van Spijkers is de BBC-voorzitter Richard Sharp die in opspraak is geraakt. Hij ziet het onderzoek naar een schimmige lening met vertrouwen tegemoet. Wat is hier aan de hand? De Winther zegt dat te lang regeren kan leiden tot het verliezen van realiteitszin Bijna een kwart van de Nederlanders onder de veertig trekt de holocaust in twijfel volgens Amerikaans onderzoek. 6 procent denkt dat de Holocaust een mythe is en 17 procent vindt dat het aantal Joden dat vermoord is ‘sterk overdreven' wordt. Het verrast De Winther niet, maar deze aantallen verbazen hem wel. De NOS vertelt hun worsteling met het brengen van dit nieuws... Piet Adema moet zich verantwoorden over de Europese mestregels. Hij zou de Kamer verkeerd geïnformeerd hebben. Hij betreurt de situatie. Staat zijn baan nu ter discussie? En wat doet dit met het beeld van wat we hebben van minister Adema? Spijkers: "Hij was minister Piet, maar hij wordt nu weer minister Adema"

Richard Sharp is accused of helping facilitate a loan to the then prime minister, Boris Johnson, when Mr Sharp was applying to be BBC chairman. His appointment is now under review by the Commissioner for Public Appointments. In this interview with Katie Razzall, Mr Sharp denies being involved in any loan and explains why he believes he will be exonerated because he "was appointed on merit".
Controversy is currently surrounding BBC chairman Richard Sharp amidst allegations that he helped Boris Johnson when the then Prime Minister found himself in personal financial difficulties, and while Mr Sharp's application to become BBC chairman was approaching the final stages. He did not declare the alleged conflict of interest to those involved. Richard Ayre, a former controller of editorial policy and deputy chief executive of BBC news and a former member of the OFCOM content board discusses Richard Sharp's position and the need to reform the appointment process."Was there a conflict of interest at that time when he approached the Cabinet Secretary?

Having just recovered from his own seatbelt fine saga, Rishi Sunak spent the weekend fighting two more Tory sleaze scandals. First over the ongoing investigation into Nadhim Zahawi's taxes and the second linked to the BBC chairman Richard Sharp's £800,000 loan guarantee. Both stories link back to Boris Johnson's time as Prime Minister, but how much damage could this do to Rishi Sunak? Natasha Feroze speaks to Katy Balls and Fraser Nelson.
The BBC's mantra is that impartiality - and the perception of impartiality - must be at its core. Yet following revelations in The Sunday Times we are coming to understand the nature of the relationship between the former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson, his financial needs, and the current Chairman of the BBC - an old friend of his, Richard Sharp. Today, we ask why the Chairman failed to declare details that might have compromised that impartiality. And we speak to former Chair of the BBC Board Diane Coyle, who is horrified at what has emerged.We approached the BBC for comment before publishing this episode.Video: Will Gibson-SmithPlanning: Alex BarnettProduction: Gabriel RadusEditor: Tom HughesFor exclusive daily videos from The News Agents visit Global Player: https://www.globalplayer.com/videos/brands/news-agents/the-news-agents/You can watch our interviews in full at https://www.globalplayer.com/videos/brands/news-agents/the-news-agents/The News Agents is a Global Player Original and a Persephonica Production.The News Agents is executive produced by Dino Sofos.
The prime minister has asked his independent ethics adviser to investigate Nadhim Zahawi, the Conservative Party chairman. Sir Laurie Magnus will look at whether Mr Zahawi breached the ministerial code by settling tax issues with HMRC while he was chancellor. Mr Zahawi says it was “careless and not deliberate” error. That's on top of the two investigations around the appointment of Richard Sharp, the BBC chairman, after reports he helped Boris Johnson, the former prime minister, secure a loan worth up to £800,000.One is by the commissioner for public appointments and will look at the process that led to Mr Sharp getting the job. He has also asked the BBC to review any potential conflicts of interest he might have. The investigations came after Rishi Sunak was fined for not wearing a seatbelt.On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson talks to Sky News' chief political correspondent Jon Craig about the latest developments.

The government has defended the way the BBC chairman Richard Sharp was appointed, after reports that he helped secure a loan for Boris Johnson weeks before he was chosen.
On Thursday the first three of six Netflix documentaries about Harry and Meghan were released and BBC News led with the story. Did BBC News fall for the PR and were its correspondents impartial in their coverage? And in the same week the BBC hierarchy began a coordinated campaign to secure its future. The Chairman, the former hedge fund boss and Conservative donor, Richard Sharp gave his first interview as chairman to the Sunday Times, and a few days later his Director General,Tim Davie, made his pitch to the Royal Television Society. Roger Mosey is now Master of Selwyn College, Cambridge, but while at the BBC he was Head of television News, Editor of the Today programme and Director of the Beijing 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games coverage. We discuss Royal coverage, sports rights, BBC funding and the future of public service broadcasting. "I think Richard Sharp is saying some interesting and good things. But I worry about the fact he is a major Tory donor. Chairmen of the BBC, have always come from a political background, so it's nothing new in that. But I think it does compromise their ability to articulate a genuine public service case for the BBC."Support the podcast by subscribing here on Patreon. @BeebRoger@RogerBolton@mastodonapp.ukroger@rogerboltonsbeebwatch.com Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Acts 13:1-4
Rishi Sunak is Britain's new prime minister. Sunak was not elected, even by Conservative Party members, who, just weeks earlier, had chosen Liz Truss. However, she was immediately turned upon by senior party members.Sunak is the darling of the establishment, chief amongst it the British state broadcaster, the BBC. In 2020, the BBC presented him as a literal superhero, describing him as the chancellor who would “save the country's economy.” In reality, government incompetence over COVID, Brexit and sanctioning Russia wrecked the economy, leading to rampant inflation and a pressing cost of living crisis affecting all Britons.For this latest episode of “The Watchdog”, Lowkey again talks to Alan MacLeod, this time about the BBC's extremely close links to the ruling Conservative Party. While often criticized by right-wingers as a bastion of liberalism, a multitude of top BBC executives and directors are directly linked to Toryism. For example, BBC chairman Richard Sharp was a senior adviser to many top Tories, including both former prime minister Boris Johnson and Sunak himself. Sharp has also donated at least £400,000 to the party.Meanwhile, as MacLeod noted, the BBC's former head of political programming, Robbie Gibb – the brother of a Tory cabinet minister – left the broadcasting corporation to become the director of communications for Conservative prime minister Theresa May.Alan MacLeod is Senior Staff Writer and Podcast Producer for MintPress News. He has worked at the company since 2019. Before joining MintPress, he was an academic and a freelance journalist specializing in Latin America and in analyzing media and propaganda. His latest article, “The BBC-to-NATO Pipeline: How the British State Broadcaster Serves the Powerful,” explores how the United Kingdom's state broadcaster is nowhere near as independent as it insists it is. A dangerous unitIn the second half of the podcast, the pair discuss MacLeod's latest findings on Israeli military surveillance organization Unit 8200. In a new investigation, MacLeod found that hundreds of former Unit 8200 agents have been appointed to influential positions in some of the biggest and most influential Silicon Valley tech and communications companies. This includes Google, Amazon, Twitter and Microsoft. There, they oversee much of these companies' development and security.This is an alarming finding because, as is well-documented, Unit 8200 has carried out massive spying operations on Palestinian citizens, compiling sensitive information such as medical records and sexual histories, and used it to blackmail and extort them. Its graduates are also responsible for designing many of the most controversial and invasive hacking tools ever created, including the infamous Pegasus spyware that was used to eavesdrop on tens of thousands of politicians, journalists and activists across the world.Watch or listen to this interview exclusively at MintPress.Support the showThe MintPress podcast, “The Watchdog,” hosted by British-Iraqi hip hop artist Lowkey, closely examines organizations about which it is in the public interest to know – including intelligence, lobby and special interest groups influencing policies that infringe on free speech and target dissent. The Watchdog goes against the grain by casting a light on stories largely ignored by the mainstream, corporate media.
**Trigger warning: This episode contains descriptions of brutal violence and war crimes.**The situation in Ukraine is something that we're all painfully aware of, but how much do we really understand about the reality on the ground?My mate Richard Sharp has spent the last 7 months in the warzone, and has first hand experience of the horrors and devastation caused by the russian invaders.Whilst people were fleeing the country, Sharpie jumped in his van and drove toward the front line. As a former Royal Marine Commando, he shares his views on the conflict, thoughts on where the war is heading, and how he thinks it can all end.He's seen how the war has slipped out of the main headlines and wants to wake us all up to what's happening out there.

Today we will talk about monasteries, abbots and bishops and the roles they played in Irish Christianity. We will also talk about new evidence and new interpretations on the organization of early Irish Christianity.•With that, here is the next piece of the mosaic of the history of the Popes of Rome and Christian Church.Steve: [00:00:00] Now th there has been a fairly recent change in scholarship on how the, what the role of the Bishop was an Ireland. What was the traditional scholarship on the role of the Bishop and how has that sort of modified throughout the sense maybe the, the eighties.Dr. Carly McNamara: Yeah, that's a great point. So the previous understanding was that, you know, there's the. It was a huge blossoming of monastic. Life in Ireland, I think to a degree that you don't frequently see elsewhere, just the sheer number of monasteries in Ireland is impressive. So there was this belief that it was the Abbots themselves that were the most important ecclesiastical figures.In Ireland and north Britain in this early medieval period, and that they held a higher status even than [00:01:00] bishops. And some of this belief was based on, I think. The point that we were in understanding the materials that we had at the time. So as I've said, we've, we've constantly been evolving in how we understand materials and how we work with them.And maybe even what's been translated, you know, I have this huge pile of, of materials, but if we haven't had time to properly have a look at it and compare them with each other and really make sure we're understanding what's going on, then we're not going to have as good an understanding as we do, you know, once that work has been done.And I think that's part of what went into this previous perspective versus how we, we view it now. So. There's not as many discussions of bishops because you are unlikely to have as many bishops as Abbott's, you know, every monastery needs an Abbott, but not every monastery needs a Bishop. [00:02:00] And even at my favorite monastery at banger, like they only had a few bishops ever, so we can cut.Take that into mind, as we're thinking about, you know, what this understanding was, but yeah, starting around the 1980s, they really started to readdress some of these earlier perspectives and realize that, you know, When we talk about these monks and these monasteries, the monks themselves were not likely to be in clerical orders themselves.Like it, wasn't a requirement of being a monk. And even if you're not in monastic orders and you haven't taken an oath of being a monk, you know, there's an even larger pool of lay brothers that existed around monastery who were associated. Perhaps just because they lived on land owned by the monastery.So [00:03:00] there's this large lay population that's associated with the monastery and none of those people needed to be in clerical orders. And we've come to understand more and more that, you know, all of this pastoral care that's required. In the church was under the purview of the Bishop. You know, the Abbott didn't have the right to ordain clerics.He may not have been ordained himself. So the Bishop needed to do that. And the Bishop was the one who had the right to, you know, bring a church into use as a sacred place. And so they're the ones who have that power. And they were the ones who were charged with the good working of a church and making sure that, you know, the people receive the sacraments that they needed, whether it's, you know, birth or, um, baptism or, you know, final rights and burial.So that was all under the purview [00:04:00] of the Bishop. So this thought that had existed about, you know, the Abbott speak, the ones in charge because they were maybe so many of them. And I think there was also some confusion in that there wasn't a big city for a Bishop to kind of have as his seat of his power.There was no York, there was no Canterbury for these bishops to be located at. As part of what led to that, uh, previous understanding, but that we're, we're starting, we're getting better and better at it. Seeing how it more likely was today with this, you know, monasteries and Abbott's being more concerned about their monastic lives than about the pastoral care of the, the wider communities.And we see that even in the life of St. Colombia. And if people are interested in early medieval religious lives, I highly recommend reading the life of Saint [00:05:00] Colombia. It's really easy to read. You know, there's a really good translation by Richard Sharp. It's got the earliest mention of the Lochness monster in it.So it's lots of fun. Uh, But we also see in it that Colomba himself as described by Adivan a hundred years later, his focus wasn't on conversion. You know, this is very different from what we see with Patrick, he's interested in his own community. And the times that you'll see him involved with conversions are when people have specifically come to him and said, you know, Colombia, please, you know, do this for me.You know, I'm about to die. I want to die a Christian or what have you that they've specifically come to him to ask him personally for intervention. Steve: Yeah, it's kind of interesting because, because Ireland wasn't in the Roman empire, that or organization would be a little bit different, but maybe not quite [00:06:00] as different as what earlier scholars thought.
Richard Sharp is a Royal Marine Commando veteran, who served two tours in afghanistan.He faced ambushes, heavy gunfire and IEDs, but his toughest tests weren't at war. Upon his return to civvy street, he had a brief stint working in the city, and went on to be CEO of RE:ACT, a charity which responds to disasters and gets humanitarian aid to the hardest to reach places on the planet.He became central to the government's response to the pandemic, and gained a strong reputation for his cause.However, eventually infighting, rumours and accusations reared their heads, and Richard found himself in the middle of a scandal that had his face splashed all over the national papers.Richard is very open about all aspects of his life, and I find his story fascinating.Website: DodgeWoodall.comInstagram: @Dodge.WoodallLinkedIn: Dodge Woodall See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A lack of research on how diverse communities experience genomic medicine and integrate genetic knowledge into their understanding of and decision making around health care has led to disparities in access and utilization of genomic medicine among minority populations. “The data that's been available historically all points in the direction of suggesting that there's going to be substantial hesitance among patients in taking up new forms of genetic testing and that hesitance is rooted in historical worries”, states Dr. Richard Sharp, director of the Biomedical Ethics Research Program at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. On this month’s GenePod, Dr. Sharp and Valentina Hernandez, director of integrated nutrition services and collaborative research for Mountain Park Health Center discuss the results of a survey of both Latinx and non-Latinx patients that assessed their decision to pursue genomic risk evaluation in an effort to address this research gap.

As human beings, we tend to have ‘boxes'; we live in a ‘box' (our house), we drive a ‘box' (our car), we worship God in a ‘box' (the church building). We are convinced, that in our ‘boxes', we can have safe and happy lives, without worry. But the truth is that happiness is not found in ‘boxes'. A happy and successful church is the one who is ready to go out of the ‘box', in order to reach the world, just like the early church did. Evangelist Richard Sharp

The guys go to another fancy pants drinking joint and jump from one Dip topic to another. Get ready for a wild ride talking rule changes to the Pirates variant and other variant development, around the grounds, the Viking variant and surrendering. Intro The guys introduce the Cloakroom bar, while the bartender joins them to serve orders in the JFK Room and educate the guys on glasses. This is the first time Kaner grabbed a glass of red instead of beer or cider. Plus they get a mouth cleanser rosé with ouzo spritzer and chilled towels! (0 mins 30 secs) Oli at vDip has delivered on the money fixing a major problem in the Pirates variant Amby created. He then gives a quick overview of the dynamics of the game and Oli's coding change. As discussed in the podcast there are two types of units: frigates that move normally but attack with double strength and clippers that have normal attacking strength but can move two places. The change relates to a retreating clipper that now will retreat only 1 space, not 2 spaces, which all too often resulting in dislodged units retreating easily behind an enemies' lines (4 mins 30 secs) With that retreating rule, it means the same can now be implemented in Chaoctopi and Germany 1648. It will also allow Amby's Ninjas vs Samurai 1-on-1 variant (8 mins) Western Known World 901 map is currently in development at the Diplomail Lab. Its similar to half the usual KW901 map but with some other changes (10 mins 15 secs) After another cheers they move onto talk about Napoleonic variant being live and the Sengoku version 2 progressing along well (11 mins 30 secs) Amby talks about his ideas about having a 1066 tournament and asks Kaner's thoughts (13 mins) Around the grounds The guys each talk about their dismal performance in their respective games trying out the new Balkans 1860 variant. You can see their dismal performances at: Kaner's game and Amby's game (17 mins 30 secs) Kaner gives a shout out to cjurick (sorry Amby may have written that down wrong - let us know!) after he got in touch saying he regularly listens to the podcast and enjoys it (19 mins 30 secs) Amby clarifies he in fact is not playing in round 3 of the Online Diplomacy Championship due to serial NMRing (21 mins 40 secs) He then goes onto discuss the Dissolution game he got eliminated in at PlayDip and how despite being removed from the board he, and other eliminated players could still allocate favor votes for the non-playing nuclear players. Amby talks about his sharing the love strategy (22 mins 15 secs) Amby mentions how the 1898 variant being put together by Flame at the Diplomail Lab follows a similar approach to the Age of Empires rule over at PlayDip (25 mins 40 secs) Kaner then asks about Amby's poor performance in the WWIV Furnance of Affliction game (26 mins 30 secs) Amby flags an anon game he's in where a number of players are wanting a draw, it appears to be stalemated but another player is holding out. He asks Kaner about the process for how things like this get resolved. Amby also discusses examples in the past where he's played games where a player has held out as part of a strategy, where a bigger player in a gunboat is holding out hoping the other bigger players pick up the message to kill off the smaller players so they could share in a draw with the big players getting a bigger share of the pot (30 mins 15 secs) The Viking Diplomacy variant + Online Pet Peeves Kaner starts talking about a Viking game he recently won, but discusses how he was driven up the wall by a player who appeared to have given up and was just putting hold orders in (not even self supporting) but would come back in put in retreat and disband orders. This is similar to a Pet Peeve submitted by Traumatizer to the forum thread. Kaner throws in some #BadSportsmanship rants (35 mins 20 secs) Amby talks about how Kaner brought the Viking Diplomacy variant to the community 3 or 4 years ago. They discuss the map and how you can convoy armies down rivers using code hacks. It also includes interesting twists with self-supporting neutral armies in a couple of strategic places on the board. Plus the balance between players is excellent and player positioning makes things really challenging. Kaner gives Amby a language and geography lesson (41 mins 40 secs) Due to a segue point Amby asks Kaner if anything is happening with the Mongolian Diplomacy variant at the Diplomail Lab. Kaner says Tristan is currently doing work on it which he's more than happy to have happen (49 mins) Amby convinces Kaner to sign up to the Pirates game (52 mins 30 secs) The good folks at the Cloakroom misunderstood Amby's visual cue for two more red wines, and thought he meant two more folks arrived. So the guys got more cool towels, more Rose and Ouzo spritzer and then their reds (53 mins 40 secs) Surrender option? The guys got an email through the website from Bosch Dewalt about the idea of a Surrender button. Amby initially thought the Concede button achieves this, but the concept of how a Surrender function may work better if you don't want to play anymore and it automatically puts your units into hold (55 mins 20 secs) They go onto discuss how the downside of this would be players could protect their NMR rating but this could be a bad thing. Players may want a game where other players are of a high calibre and won't throw a game. Having "surrender" could ruin this, unless it was part of the mix when creating a game on reliability ratings: maybe a half penalty or another method? (59 mins 45 secs) The guys agree its got merit, although Amby and Kaner say they probably wouldn't click it for their own different reasons (1 hr 1 mins) Other stuff They segue onto a discussion about Diplomacy based publications with Kaner saying he owns a copy of "The Game of Diplomacy" by Richard Sharp and a board games novelette from Playboy which featured Diplomacy (1 hr 3 mins... they talk about it again 5 mins later too when Kaner says you can find it on the internet in PDF) Mrs Kaner segue discussion (1 hr 5 mins) Amby is trying to line up an interview with Oli from vDip, so if you're a vDipper get in touch so we can put your question ideas in the mix (1 hr 6 mins 20 secs) Venue: The Cloakroom Bar, Brisbane Drinks of choice: Kaner & Amby - Rosé and Ouzo spritzer, followed by the The Other Wine Company grenache from McLaren Vale, South Australia If you have any suggestions on what you'd like to see covered in an upcoming podcast, or something you'd like to see regularly covered, please contact us or leave your thoughts in the comments below.
