The seemingly unstoppable rise of “big data” and Artificial Intelligence is reshaping and destabilising the global economy. But where do small islands fit into this? Could digital technologies like AI level the playing field, or do they represent a new form of technocolonialism? Can Small Island Developing States (SIDS) embed them quickly enough to benefit from new economic opportunities, or are they likely to be left further behind? In this episode, Emily and Matt speak to a number of experts grappling with these kinds of questions. In our "Island Voices" segment Kunal Singh from Fiji talks about the impact of AI on climate finance. We then break down the issue with Preeya Mohan from Trinidad and Courtney Lindsay from Jamaica in our “Explainer”. Next, in the “Big Picture” we speak to Külli Sarapuu, from Estonia, and Donald Baldeosingh from Trinidad, two people who are grappling with the public policy implications of digitalisation. Finally, in “No Stupid Questions”, Emily and Matt ask whether the risks of AI are overstated by critics.

Online misogyny is becoming a defining feature of digital life, amplified by algorithms and enabled by platforms that fail to protect users. As violence against women intensifies across online spaces, the stakes for gender equality and for democracy itself have never been higher.Violence online is surging at a moment when digital spaces should be becoming more inclusive. Algorithms reward outrage, platform design obscures abuse, and hostile online communities allow those who target women to organise and radicalise. As a result, violence that begins online increasingly spills into public life.But the consequences go far beyond individual harm. Abuse aimed at women in politics is already deterring them from seeking re-election, while global progress on gender equality is slowing. With governments struggling to regulate fast-moving platforms and profit incentives working against user safety, digital spaces are becoming sites where exclusion is reproduced at scale.With the stakes rising, the questions are pressing. What is driving this rapid escalation in online misogyny? How are design choices and political inaction enabling it? And what would it take to turn digital spaces into environments that strengthen equality rather than deepen exclusion?GuestsSara Pantuliano (host), Chief Executive, ODI GlobalSasha Havlicek, CEO & Founder, Institute for strategic dialogue Seyi Akiwowo, Author, How To Stay Safe Online and Founder 21/20 StudiosDiana Jiménez Rodriguez, Senior Research Officer, ODI Global Related resourcesHidden in plain sight: how the infrastructure of social media shapes gender norms | ALIGN PlatformDigital sexual violence against women in Mexico: role of the Olimpia Law in transforming underlying gender norms | ALIGN PlatformSocial media, violence and gender norms: the need for a new digital social contract | ALIGN PlatformDrivers of tech-facilitated GBV in Mexico: A behavioural research study in Oaxaca and Estado of México | ALIGN PlatformWhy online safety policies and digital advocacy are essential for women's political participation | ALIGN PlatformBreak the bias to challenge gender norms on social media | ODI Global

Since 2011, Syria has been ravaged by conflict, foreign interventions and political fragmentation – leaving millions displaced and communities in crisis.But amidst the devastation, a new conversation is taking shape.Just months after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime, a new interim government led by Ahmed al-Sharaa has formed. A recent poll shows 70% of Syrians feel hopeful, but that hope is colliding with hard realities.More than 1,300 people – many believed to be civilians – have been killed in Syria's worst violence since the fall of the Assad regime, as clashes erupt between forces loyal to the new government and Assad holdouts. Meanwhile, reconstruction is stalled. Western sanctions, unpaid civil servants, and new US tariffs risk deepening the crisis.In this episode, we ask whether this fragile but hopeful moment for Syria can endure. Can international partners support recovery without repeating the mistakes of the past? And how can we centre the voices of Syrians in the process of rebuilding their country?GuestsSara Pantuliano (host), Chief Executive, ODI GlobalSana Kikhia, Executive Director, Syrian Legal Development Programme (SLDP) Leen Fouad, Senior Research Officer, Humanitarian Policy Group (HPG), ODI Global Amy Rodgers, Coordinator, Middle East Durable Solutions Platform Related resourcesSyria's chance to build better, not backward (Insight, ODI Global)Lifting sanctions on Syria: a bumpy path (Insight, ODI Global)Tens of thousands of people forcibly disappeared: will the international community step up for Syrians?

Providing performance feedback is one of the most challenging tasks leaders face. Feedback often sparks frustration and fear for both leaders and their teams. Why? Because there is a disconnect between what leaders think they are communicating and what employees receive. It's rooted in neuroscience and psychology research that we don't always apply effectively in the moment. EPISODE SUMMARY:WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:There are a lot of moving parts to provide effective feedback, including the content, valence, purpose of the message, the feedback recipient's characteristics, and the feedback provider's characteristics. In their new book, Performance Feedback Strategies, published by the Association for Talent Development (ATD), Drs. Nowack and Mashihi introduce a model of performance feedback coaching for leaders with structured exercises, techniques, and tips to help leaders become better performance coaches. After over a decade spent developing, testing, and refining their model with leaders around the world, they are now ready to share their four-part Performance Feedback Coaching Model, based on research in neuroscience and psychology, to help us all become better at providing performance feedback that is received well and translates into real behavior change. ***ABOUT OUR GUESTS:Dr. Kenneth M. Nowack is a licensed psychologist and Senior Research Officer of Envisia Learning, Inc., a global consultancy specializing in assessments and technology platforms. He serves on Daniel Goleman's Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations and recently served as Editor for the Consulting Psychology Journal. He is also a Fellow of the American Psychological Association through Division 13 (Society of Consulting Psychology).Sandra Mashihi, PhD is an organizational psychologist and executive coach with over 20 years of experience helping leaders and teams thrive through customized leadership development solutions.

Dublin-based ATC Logistics has won the 2025 AWS Ireland Horizon Award in recognition of the company's outstanding contribution to employment, international service expansion, and for helping to elevate Ireland's reputation as a world-leading location for cloud infrastructure. Founded in 1979, ATC Logistics has transformed from a family business into a global leader in data centre operations management.Headquartered in Baldonnell, County Dublin, ATC Logistics provides comprehensive B2B solutions for data centre operations, including secure transport services, installation management, decommissioning expertise, and data centre relocation solutions. ATC Managing Director, Keith Young said: "The Horizon Award is tremendous recognition for the ATC team and their dedication to excellence in logistics and supply chain operations. Working closely with AWS has helped us transform from a local Irish business into an internationalplayer, while staying true to our core values of reliability and customer focus." Now in its third year, the award was presented by Neil Morris, AWS Ireland Country Lead, at an AWS Business Breakfast in Dublin. The event brought together a range of companies, service providers, and stakeholders to discuss Ireland's cloud infrastructure industry. The event featured insights from Barry Cowen MEP, Muireann Lynch, Senior Research Officer at Economic and Social Research Institute, and Jenny Melia, Executive Director of Enterprise Ireland. A highlight of the event was the panel discussion, "Irish Cloud Ecosystem Firms and the AI Infrastructure of the Future", which examined Ireland's evolving role in global data centre infrastructure as AI investments surge worldwide. Barry Cowen MEP, said: "Ireland has established itself as a European leader in data centre development, combining our natural advantages, such as climate, with strong technical expertise. What's particularly encouraging to see is how this sector has created a ripple effect throughout the Irish economy, supporting thousands of jobs not just in construction and operations, but across a whole ecosystem of Irish suppliers and service providers. We're seeing local companies develop world-class capabilities and export their expertise globally." Enterprise Ireland's Jenny Melia provided perspective on the broader impact of data centre investment in Ireland over the years, stating: "Over a short space of time, the data centre sector has become a significant part of Ireland's economy. Using the skills that they have developed on Irish projects, many of these data centre firms have gone on to expand their business internationally." Neil Morris, Country Lead for AWS in Ireland, emphasised the importance of firms like ATC Logistics: "Irish companies have shown themselves to be innovative and willing to adapt, take risks, and grow as the industry changes. The data centre suppliers, which we recognise through the Horizon Award, have been pivotal in helping to establish Ireland as a world-leading location for cloud infrastructure." In Ireland, AWS employs over 4,200 employees directly, and around 6,500 people in total across Amazon and AWS. According to Indecon International Economic Consultants, there are also more than 3,000 working for AWS suppliers and sub-contractors. These numbers reflect real opportunities for professionals in Ireland's growing tech sector. AWS investment has enabled over 500 homegrown suppliers to expand and grow in Ireland and abroad. This includes major constructioncontractors, mechanical and electrical suppliers, professional services and a wide range of logistics services provided by local businesses. By working with AWS, many companies have been able to develop specialist, world-leading expertise, meaning those Irish firms are now market leaders in providing materials and services to data centres globally. In 2023, contracts won by suppliers and subcontractors to AWS, for the development of cloud infrastructure overseas, increased to an...

In the face of work and life challenges, there are three distinct possible long-term outcomes including harm, resilience, and growth. In some cases, people can experience positive change because of overcoming challenges and crises, as expressed in the aphorism “What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.” Dr. Ken Nowack will help us understand how resilience and growth occur as a set of personality and evidence-based personality traits, lifestyle practices and specific habits/behaviors that characterize such hardy individuals, and the leadership practices that can enhance a trusting, psychologically safe, and a positive mental health culture. Kenneth M. Nowack, Ph.D. is a licensed psychologist and Senior Research Officer of Envisia Learning, Inc. Dr. Nowack received his doctorate degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles and has published extensively in the areas of 360-degree feedback, assessment, health psychology, and behavioral medicine. Ken is a member of Daniel Goleman's Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations and serves as the outgoing Editor for the APA Consulting Psychology Journal. He is also a Fellow of the American Psychological Association (Division 13: Society of Consulting Psychology).What differentiates the hardy who grow and flourish under pressure and challenge versus those who appear to endure lasting negative consequences of these same experiences? In this episode, Dr. Ken Nowack will walk us through: 1. Understanding the 3 ways to define resilience 2. Understanding the common trajectories of resilience 3. How to apply leadership practices to enhance a psychologically safe, trusting, and resilience culture in organizations#resilience #leadership #job burnout #stress #TheHardSkills #leadershipdevelopmentTune in for this empowering conversation at TalkRadio.nyc

Femicide – the intentional killing of women and girls with a gender-related motivation – affects every society around the world.According to UN Women, nearly 89,000 women and girls were killed intentionally in 2022 – the highest number recorded in the past 20 years. And over half of all female homicides were committed by family members or intimate partners.This episode puts a spotlight on this global atrocity. Experts from Italy, Kenya and Mexico share insights on how femicide is impacting their countries. We examine its root causes, how women's movements are countering it, and what further action is urgently needed to bring about truly lasting change.While comprehensive legislation is a critical starting point, we hear why challenging gender norms which make misogyny so deeply entrenched in society is fundamental if we are to curb femicide and see transformational change.SpeakersSara Pantuliano (host), Chief Executive, ODIDinah Musindarwezo, Co-CEO, Womankind WorldwideDiana Jiménez Thomas Rodriguez, Senior Research Officer, ODINicoletta Mandolini, Researcher, CECS, Universidade do Minho, PortugalRelated resourcesGender-related killings of women and girls (femicide/feminicide): Global estimates of female intimate partner/family-related homicides in 2022 (UN Women report)10 ways to transform gender norms (ALIGN booklet)Transforming gender norms for women's economic rights and empowerment (ALIGN report)Is no space safe?
