For one week only, we're turning the tables, as Nick joins Professor Joe O'Mahoney for a chat on his fantastic podcast, Growth for Consultancies. Joe is a leading authority on consulting and a trusted advisor to many boutique consulting firms. His research on the profession has won several prestigious awards and publications. His textbook on Management Consulting was the best-selling in Europe and his academic research has been published in top international journals. As a previous guest on this show, Nick was honoured when Joe asked him to come on Growth for Consultancies and join an enviable list of former guests, including the likes of Adrian Bettridge, Stephen Newton and Rob Garner to name but a few. In this conversation, Joe grills Nick on what effective marketing for boutique consultancies should really look like, what firms like yours should be focusing on in 2023 and challenges Nick to prove the ROI of marketing - a question we often get when speaking to consultancies out in the market. If you're a consultancy leader and you want to find out how effective digital marketing can turbocharge your growth, you won't want to miss this episode of Climb in Consulting. We hope you enjoy it!

In Ireland we are lucky to host five breeding Tern species, namely; the Common, Arctic, Roseate, Little and Sandwich Tern. In this episode we look at these gracious birds in detail and chat about their identifying features, ecology and breeding sites. We chat to Dr Stephen Newton - Senior Seabird Conservation Officer with BirdWatch Ireland on Tern conservation in Ireland over three decades and look at the many successes of these efforts.Bird of the week is the majestic Black Tern, a non-breeding annual visitor to our shores albeit in small numbers. The Black Tern is a species of "marsh tern" differing in ecology from our five sea tern species which we discuss. Thanks to Seán Ronayne (Irish Wildlife Sounds) for much of the Tern audio. In Your Nature is produced in partnership with the Heritage Offices of Laois and Offaly County Councils, supported by the Heritage Council and the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and is edited by Ann-Marie Kelly

Professor Michael Quinlan returned to the Lounge Room to discuss his paper The 21st Century Catholic Lawyer. This paper explores the changing religious, social and consequently legal landscape, and the impact that these changes have on Catholics who wish to be able to practice the Faith unconstrained. The paper's abstract is below:"Although the proportion continues to decline, the majority of Australians still identify as Christians just as they have since the first census was taken. Catholics are now the largest single religious denomination and “Australia is one of the most religiously diverse countries in the world.” There are increasing numbers of Australians who describe themselves as having “no religion.” Although the evidence is sparse on this question, in the past, the religious profile of lawyers closely followed the religious profile of the general population. If this remains so, it is likely that the decline in church attendance among Australians generally has also been replicated within the legal profession. At the same time, as Stephen Newton recently observed, “[Australian] [s]ociety is turning against the very fabric of [the Catholic] faith – society’s moves to control or redefine birth, marriage and death are before us every day in the form of abortion, marriage equality and euthanasia legislation.” In this changing environment, a substantial majority of Australians (83%) continue to consider that Australia has a responsibility to be a moral leader in the world and to set an example for other countries to follow. The legal profession in Australia has also been experiencing rapid change, including a significant growth in the number of students studying law, the impact of globalisation, and the proliferation of developments in legal technology. Given this rapidly changing environment, this paper considers the role that a Catholic lawyer in Australia ought to take in the twenty-first century..."Enjoy!

Abraham Grace Merritt (better known by his byline A. Merritt) has the odd distinction of being perhaps second only to Edgar Rice Burroughs in popularity as a writer of fantastic fiction during the first half of the 20th century, only to be largely forgotten today. Perhaps this is because Merritt’s relatively small body of work didn’t feature recurring iconic heroes like John Carter of Mars or Conan of Cimmeria, or it may be down to his prose style’s reputation for being more baroque and densely descriptive than is the norm nowadays. Merritt came from a poor Quaker family, and financial difficulties forced his withdrawal from legal studies at the University of Pennsylvania. He landed a job at the age of 19 in 1903 as a reporter at The Philadelphia Inquirer, remaining a journalist for the rest of his life. Early in his career Merritt experienced or witnessed something (political corruption? heinous violence? eldritch horrors?) of which he never spoke again. Merritt was forced to lay low for a year in Mexico and Central America, where he visited many pre-Columbian sites and befriended the indigenous peoples. Merritt’s Latin American exile sparked in him a lifelong love of travel to exotic locales and a keen interest in the rituals and legends associated with those places. This anthropological eye would inform all of Merritt’s fiction, from his first published story “Through the Dragon Glass” (1917) to his final uncompleted novella “The Fox Woman” (first published in 1946). Merritt’s powers of imagination and description would inspire generations of writers of fantastic fiction, not least the “Big Three” of Weird Tales, H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. Unlike many of the Appendix N authors, Merritt did not need to survive on his fiction work since he was one of the best-paid journalists of his time--in 1912 he was tapped to be the assistant editor of The American Weekly and was earning $25,000 a year by 1919 (over $365,000 in 2017 dollars). Merritt served as the editor-in-chief of The American Weekly from 1937 until his death in 1943, by which time he was earning $100,000 a year (over $1.4 million in 2017 dollars). Merritt’s editorial responsibilities and his tendency to re-visit and rework his stories meant that he only completed 8 novels and 7 short stories in his lifetime. But regardless of whether Merritt’s commitment to The American Weekly limited his fantastic fiction output, his time there was well-spent as it also allowed him to champion and hire Virgil Finlay and Hannes Bok, two up-and-coming artists who would become among the greatest of the pulp era. Both Finlay and Bok would go on to illustrate many of Merritt’s stories and Bok was given permission to complete and publish two unfinished Merritt novellas, The Fox Woman and the Blue Pagoda (New Collectors Group, 1946) and The Black Wheel (New Collectors Group, 1947). Merritt’s second to last novel, Burn, Witch, Burn! was originally serialized in 6 parts in Argosy Weekly magazine in the fall of 1932 and compiled in hardcover the following year by Liveright, Inc. It’s a mark of Merritt’s literary respectability at the time that he shared the same publisher as Theodore Dreiser, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, Sigmund Freud, and E.E. Cummings among others.

Most of the panel members use these terms interchangeably because they are.] One of Adam's reasons for self-publishing is that he wanted to continue to own his work.

Some of the most memorable KISS discussions we've had are the ones we've conducted with crew members. This week's guest should prove to continue that tradition.   Former KISS crew member Ken Barr joins Chris and Aaron this week for an in-depth discussion of a very transitional phase in the Hottest Band in the Land's career. Ken was a drum tech/guitar tech/carpenter for KISS from 1992 - 1996. His tenure included the Revenge tour, Alive III, the 1995 convention tour, MTV Unplugged, Reunion tour rehearsals, and the 1996 KROQ Weenie Roast. Lots of stories about the personalities behind the members of KISS, stories from the road, and Ken's thoughts on what the band is doing today.   Our talk with Ken today is just the tip of the iceberg of experiences that he's had throughout his career in the music industry.
