Podcast appearances and mentions of sam wilkin

In a world where our attention spans are getting shorter, where we are rewarded not for the attention we pay to others but the attention we receive – is it time we re-evaluated the value of attentive growing and farming, and mindful eating? Could paying attention, as cheesemonger and podcast host Sam Wilkin argues, be the secret to great food and drink production and relishing what we consume on a daily basis? Sam takes us to Westcombe Dairy, where he's been following their transition to regenerative agriculture for the past year, as part of the Westcombe Project. We visit a pioneering island distillery in the Inner Hebrides, as well as growers and brewers at an inaugural organic food festival in the East Neuk of Fife. The common thread that binds them? The belief that a more attentive approach has the power to transform the food system and improve our lives in the process. Presented by Jaega Wise. Produced by Robbie Armstrong in Glasgow.

Sam Wilkin and Jack Schickler of MLex discuss Facebook's foray into cryptocurrency, Libra, and the regulation impact already expected in its home jurisdiction of Switzerland.

One year after the General Data Protection Regulation took effect, the sweeping EU privacy law is still clouded in uncertainty. A 50 million-euro fine against Google, imposed by France, has opened up a dispute about jurisdiction as well as the vexed question of how, exactly, companies can legally get people’s consent to process their data. As national regulators look to step up their enforcement in the GDPR’s second year, MLex is releasing a Special Report to shine a light into the regulation’s murky corners. In this podcast, three of the contributors — Matthew Newman, Jack Schickler and Cynthia Kroet — discuss their findings with editor Sam Wilkin.

As cars integrate ever more technology, a legal fight is brewing over whether the holders of connectivity-related patents should offer licenses to the makers of the relevant car parts, or of the cars as a whole. With parallels to the “smartphone wars” of the past decade, this new front will strain the complex relationships between carmakers and their suppliers and pit industrial giants such as Daimler and Nokia against each other. It will also test the limits of antitrust law, with patent holders being accused of withholding licenses. Listen to Sam Wilkin, Matthew Newman and Michael Acton from MLex’s Brussels bureau talk it over.

China's growing industrial clout and state-backed efforts to move up the value chain have caused alarm in Brussels and EU capitals, leading to calls to loosen merger law or restrict access to public procurement markets. But policymakers don't have that many levers to pull, and those that they do could have adverse consequences for EU consumers. Poppy Carnell and Natalie McNelis talk to Sam Wilkin about the difficult choices to be made, both before and after a summit on April 9.

Today, we have a big picture conversation about populism – that thing that seems to be taking over the world, whether we are talking about Donald Trump, Brexit, Bolsonaro in Brazil or Duterte in the Philippines. But, what is populism? Why do people vote for populists? Besides unhelpful explanations that are unhelpful (like everyone is insane), how can we better understand this phenomenon? Today we take our understanding of populism – and as a consequence, our world - up several notches.   My guest is Sam Wilkin. Sam is a political risk expert, an author and a speaker. His latest book is called History Repeating – Why Populists Rise and Governments Fall. In it, Sam shows us that there are patterns to populism – the same drama plays out time and again in places as diverse as Iran, Russia, and yes, the United States with Donald Trump.  Our conversation is both fun and engaging – much like Sam's book. And once we understand the logic of populism, we are better able to tackle the risks it poses – and as you'll hear, some of that is surprising and counter-intuitive. We cover:  What populism is; Why people vote for populists; Populism and inequality; Similarities between populists of different countries and eras; The dangers of irregularly removing a populist from office; What populists tend to do once in power; Risks to our world posed by populism; Much more Show notes: Sam's website; Sam on Twitter; Sam on LinkedIn; History Repeating: Why Populists Rise and Governments Fall; _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Like what you heard?

UK lawmakers’ rejection of Theresa May’s Brexit deal this week for the second time has prompted an uptick in EU preparations for a no-deal exit on March 29, at both the EU and the national level. While this scenario will be disruptive on both sides of the English Channel, policymakers are trying to soften the blow in crucial areas such as air transport and the Irish border. Brexit reporter Zosia Wanat discusses the details with Brussels bureau chief Sam Wilkin.

Two merger prohibitions by the European Commission this week have ushered in a political debate about whether competition rules need to change. The veto of the Siemens-Alstom rail merger in particular has drawn criticism from high-profile politicians who say there should be more latitude to create European champions. But not everyone agrees, and pushing through changes will be difficult. Brussels competition reporters Nicholas Hirst and Natalie McNelis talk to news editor Sam Wilkin about what changes could be on the horizon.

The planned merger between European rail titans Siemens and Alstom is having a tough time at the hands of EU merger-control authorities, which could block the deal if they decide it will have a harmful effect on competition. The companies and political backers say they need to create a “European champion” to see off competition from China, but will this be enough to outweigh the domestic competition concerns? Brussels competition reporters Nicholas Hirst and Natalie McNelis talk to news editor Sam Wilkin.

Brexit’s not done yet. EU leaders endorsed the withdrawal agreement and a political declaration on future relations on Sunday, but even if this passes the UK parliament, we’re still potentially years away from an agreement on the permanent relationship. MLex reporters Zosia Wanat and Mike Acton, who were at the latest summit, talk to Brussels news editor Sam Wilkin about the issues that will come to the fore if and when we reach a transition period — from competition to kippers.

Apple boss Tim Cook was in Brussels last week for a meeting of global privacy regulators, the first time the CEO of a tech giant had attended. Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Google’s Sundar Pichai also delivered video messages. It’s clear that privacy has become a top-level issue for tech companies as regulators clamp down after a series of scandals, but how can they reconcile privacy with their data-hungry business models? MLex tech correspondents Cynthia Kroet and Amy Miller join Brussels news editor Sam Wilkin to discuss.

The EU’s plan for a capital markets union has so far failed to live up to its grand title, four years after being conceived. Intended to create a borderless financial market, the project has become bogged down in details. With a changing of the guard at the European Commission next year, not to mention Brexit, will the CMU sink or swim? Global financial services reporter John Rega talks to Brussels news editor Sam Wilkin.

The European Commission’s new probe into five big German carmakers — BMW, Daimler, Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche — breaks the mold of typical antitrust investigations. Rather than straightforward price-fixing or market-sharing, the EU regulator is asking whether the companies agreed to hold back on technological developments regarding car emissions. Brussels news editor Sam Wilkin talks to reporters Matthew Newman and Nicholas Hirst about what’s sure to be a controversial case.

Taxing tech giants such as Google and Facebook has become a political battleground in Europe. The European Commission has proposed a new digital levy that it says can generate 5 billion euros a year, but many national governments accuse the EU executive — whose formal taxation powers are limited — of overreach. With a discussion between finance ministers due next month, Brussels news editor Sam Wilkin discusses what’s next with Todd Buell, a reporter at MLex’s sister publication Law360.

An extradition case at the EU’s highest court shows growing legal uncertainty about the UK’s relationship with the EU, even before it leaves the bloc next March. The EU Court of Justice is considering whether to block the UK’s use of the European Arrest Warrant, on the grounds that suspects’ EU rights may not be guaranteed after Brexit. Brussels reporter Mike Acton and news editor Sam Wilkin discuss.

Germany’s plans to build a new gas pipeline from Russia drew criticism from Donald Trump last week, in the latest spat between the US president and his supposed allies. In this case, though, he may be in line with European opinion: Several governments, pressure groups and even the European Commission oppose the pipeline on environmental or energy-security grounds. But stopping it won’t be easy, as energy reporter Emily Waterfield explains to Brussels news editor Sam Wilkin.

EU competition enforcers have caused controversy by using state aid rules to challenge tax breaks given by certain EU governments to multinational companies. Subsequent court cases have seen heated arguments between lawyers for the European Commission and the companies involved — often supported by national governments. Competition reporters Matthew Newman and Nicholas Hirst explain what’s going on to Brussels news editor Sam Wilkin.

Regulators in the EU and beyond are trying to incentivize environmentally-friendly investments, which proponents say will help reach environmental goals while locking in sustainable returns in the long term. But how do you define a green investment, and is there a risk of a bubble from too many incentives? John Rega explains the ins and outs with Sam Wilkin.

A week after US President Donald Trump signed steep tariffs on steel and aluminum into law, producers and trade partners around the world are scrambling to respond. The EU has vowed to hit back with its own measures, but it's also seeking an exemption from Washington. MLex trade reporters Poppy Carnell and Joanna Sopinska talk to editor Sam Wilkin about the forms an exemption could take, and how likely Brussels is to succeed.

As Bitcoin has grabbed headlines with its wild price swings, authorities around the world have been scrambling to regulate the new phenomenon of digital currencies. Tsering Namgyal, MLex’s Hong Kong-based financial correspondent, was in Brussels with chief correspondent John Rega and news editor Sam Wilkin. Here they discuss different global approaches and what’s at stake.
