There's been a lively debate online asking whether you should take an iced coffee into a job interview. A US-based recruiter sparked an avalanche of social media posts when she suggested that taking an iced coffee into a job interview - particularly for the kind of clients she has - appeared too casual and could be seen as unprofessional. Adam Fleming spoke to a British job recruiter about her views on the issue. Ashlea Fisher is the founder and director of iRecruit4, based in Swindon.

Hosted by Fiona Scott, today's podcast welcomes Emma Carter, CEO of WestSpring IT. Emma's small business is based in Bristol and offers clients technical support and IT services to companies across the UK. She's known Fiona for many years as a client and as a friend. Fiona takes Emma back to her background. Emma describes her history as working in ‘sales' although she feels she wasn't ‘that good of a salesperson' but she had the unique ability to go from industry to industry. When she was at Yellow Pages, her management and leadership skills were developed. From there, she went on to Biffa (the waste company) and from there to Excalibur which was her first experience with IT. After 9/10 years, she left and went to a digital marketing agency before joining WestSpring where she is now and thoroughly enjoying it. Fiona begins by asking Emma about her time at school and her childhood. Emma explains that she spent her childhood years in Portsmouth with her mum. She then moved to Slough for her dad's work and grew up in the most deprived area of Slough. Emma says she did well at school, but it was about working hard for her rather than ‘brains.' She's the eldest of six and learned very early that she had to contribute. She left home at sixteen and actually always wanted to be a teacher but she couldn't find work experience and actually ended up working in a mobile phone shop. She absolutely loved the experience and was offered a ‘Saturday job' at the end of it. She eventually found an apprenticeship in administration with a brilliant mentor, which is something she feels is incredibly important in life and business. Emma really touches upon her childhood in poverty and explains how money as an adult became a sense of security. She was told that sales was the easiest way to earn money and that's what she did. She always worked hard and wanted to build good relationships with people. She feels it was later in her career at Yellow Pages that she learned good relationships equals good sales and began to understand the world of business more. Fiona then goes on to ask Emma if she's a ‘tech geek' and Emma laughs in response, saying ‘no!' She feels because she went from advertising to waste disposal and then to IT doesn't feel like that. For her, management and leadership skills are what got her to where she is today. Emma says she liked to make the ‘tech' world sound human, and this is something she strives to do in her business. Fiona asks Emma to tell listeners about the company WestSpring and what she feels she has brought to the table. Emma explains that they had been around for 8 or 9 years when she joined. It was created by two amazing founders, Jason and Phil, and they started with a credit card around a kitchen table. They had seen the poor way that some MSPs had treated their clients, and they wanted to change this. They took on Emma as CEO because they felt they had taken the business as far as they could but didn't have the skill about how to grow at scale. They'd focused so hard on winning any client without finding consistency and stability to enable the business to grow. Fiona then goes on to ask Emma about why she always valued media outreach, especially during her days at Excalibur, when Fiona and Emma met. Emma says that PR and media activity helps to form trust in the relationship before it's even needed. For example, if someone was to hear her talking on the radio or a podcast, the person would get a real representation of who she is as a person and what she stands for. She feels this helps the person to make decisions before even picking up the phone or emailing. The PR and the media bit is really important. However, she does touch on her earlier days, when she used to be afraid that people would be intimidated by her and her reputation. But now, Emma feels she owns this in her everyday life and the people known to her, realise that she does this with care and isn't afraid to have difficult conversations. Fiona also talks about how she sees similar traits in herself to Emma and that they can't ‘not be themselves.' Fiona discusses with Emma how when she worked at Excalibur, she used PR to show how important and valued their team members were. Emma explains this because they had a lot of competition with bigger companies in Swindon and they found recruitment difficult, so they needed to prove to people why working for them was the best decision. The PR really allowed them to share that ethos and culture with others. Fiona asks Emma what her biggest challenges have been so far as the CEO of WestSpring. Emma says the first was working with the founders can be very different because they struggle to give up an element of control to someone new. Secondly, some of the people found the change hard, especially when they needed to implement new structures into the company. Fiona goes on to ask Emma how she's going to tackle the challenge of keeping the small business intimate feel while allowing the company to grow. Emma says that has been a challenge over the last 6 months. They've also had to think hard about what growth means to them in their company. Emma says they've found that growth for them is sustainable growth by winning the right types of clients, not just any clients and if they're aware of what their forecast and pipeline looks like so that they can schedule recruitment and plan resources that might be needed and find partnerships and clients to support them on that growth journey. Fiona notes how Emma has always been committed to personal development and self-awareness. Emma talks about how much of this comes from the mentors she had in the past. She says James Phipps was a massive help in the early stages of her career because he signed her up to a group called Vistage which puts you around a table with other senior leaders of businesses and you have a safe space to share what's going on in your business and gives you the chance to see some great speakers. She talks about how important networking is and that socialising with others who are also CEOs and founders' means they understand the pressures you have to face every day.Fiona asks Emma, ‘When you started at WestSpring, you contacted me quite soon... why?' Emma says “as a board that it was really important to start making sure that people knew who we were straight away. We'd done well at making some relationships, but we had to tackle the idea of making sure people knew that PR isn't the same as selling. We wanted people to understand who we are and our culture. We also felt that authenticity was important and Scott Media's reputation preceded you with other clients and we had great references. We needed a mentor who was honest, would be up front and wasn't afraid to give feedback.”The two then go on to discuss a moment while Fiona was in Canada earlier this year and an opportunity on TV and radio came up for Emma to talk about working from home. Emma was able to give a different viewpoint to this as she values working in the office and she talks about the importance of such opportunities and taking them when they arise. Fiona then asks Emma what her take is on AI. Emma says that AI gives an element of automation and productivity gains that doesn't replace people. Creativity comes from humans and that can't be replaced but AI can be used well as a tool in business. She feels everyone's opinion of AI is different, but it may help to save time in certain cases or to help with organisational tasks. Emma also talks about her friends who are artists and musicians who have had their work stolen by AI. She feels this is a huge problem in today's society. There is a moral side that doesn't like the environmental impact of it but for businesses it can be helpful to use. She says for business owners they have to decide what their use of AI is like for them and how does it suit them individually. Emma says the best thing about AI for many businesses is the efficiency it brings to the table.

Send us Fan MailGraham and Charles chat to pop legend Gilbert O'Sullivan as he prepares to release his new album, On the Record and celebrates sixty years in music.About Gilbert O'Sullivan:He was the superstar who topped the UK and US single charts in the 70s with songs of endearing tunefulness, unabashed sentiment and existentialist musings. Today, Irish singer-songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan continues to be regarded with tremendous affection and his songs remain well-loved around the world.Gilbert O'Sullivan was born Raymond Edward O'Sullivan in 1946 in Ireland. He moved to Swindon, England with his family aged 7 and after a formal education became a student at Swindon Art College, specializing in graphic design.But he had another love – music – and after forming and joining local bands as a drummer/vocalist, he started writing his own songs, heavily influenced by The Beatles as writers and Bob Dylan as a performer. Calling himself Gilbert, with a very distinctive image, two singles released by CBS Records and one with the Major Minor label, got little attention. Undeterred, he sent a demo tape to Gordon Mills, the man behind Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck, who impressed with his song writing, became his manager. The result was his first single on the MAM label, Nothing Rhymed, became a UK Top Ten hit in 1970.Keep in touch with Two Big Egos in a Small Car:X@2big_egosFacebook@twobigegos

Hosted by Fiona Scott, today's podcast welcomes Joe Tompkinson. Joe is one of the founders of the Swindon based tech company called MyMarketr. Joe explains how their company helps to support people with their marketing at a very reasonable price. He goes on to say how this is a really exciting time for business as there is so much happening in the tech industry. Joe begins his podcast by telling the audience how tech hasn't always been his career and that he was originally a police officer for fourteen years. Joe was also featured as a policeman on the TV show ‘999 What's your emergency?'. He goes on to say that policing was always a big part of his life and identity but after fourteen good years in the police force, he felt it was time for a change. He states how he made great friends through the show including cameramen, who are still great friends of his today. Fiona asks Joe how he made the leap from policing to tech and IT. Joe explains that he has always been a ‘proper techy geek' and even when in the police force, he loved to test out new equipment. His background before the police was security through sales marketing. He feels his interest in Tech is something that has always been there, even if only behind the scenes for a long time. Joe goes on to share that he feels he is now ‘exactly where he's supposed to be' and feels very content with the path his life has taken. He explains how he built up a tech business at home alongside policing.He built up a great side gig which worked well with his family dynamics and having three young kids. However, his wife told him that she didn't see him policing for much longer. He enjoyed the job, but the tech side of things was making enough money that he finally took the leap to doing tech full time. Fiona says that she has joined to use Joe's service because she writes a lot of stories etc. and MyMarketr has helped her to consider how people are searching for people on the internet. She explains how this really worked for her business. She explains that as a busy business owner, it can be hard to find the time to do everything so it's really helpful to have this level of support. Fiona asks Joe what makes her a good client for him, and he explains that it was a ‘great win' for him.He talks about the keywords that need to be used for a lot of AI platforms. Google wants high-quality content and having relevant content on your website, leads people to your blogs etc. MyMarketr looks at what content you need on your website in the broadest sense and focuses a great deal on your competitors, what they are doing, what is the gap between you and them etc. It helps to build content strategies that build up your business and online presence. He also talks about how MyMarketr aims to push their clients beyond their competitors to help them take the lead. He also explains that AI is being used a lot more now to search for things, so we need to make sure we are doing what we need to do for AI to make sure businesses, and business owners don't get left behind.Joe and Fiona also go on to discuss how important making mistakes is in business. Joe recalls at the beginning when his support system failed, and he had to email all his clients to let them know that they were investigating the issue but that he was there if needed. He also goes on to say that this event led to him giving clients his WhatsApp number which meant that he built a stronger relationship with them. In his words ‘you can't put a price on that.' Therefore, reiterating that building relationships and having that personal touch in an increasingly digital world, can really make a difference. Fiona talks about how she's been using it to manage her domain authority. Domain authority is a score from 1 to 100 created by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engine results pages. The higher the score means a better rank. This is the trust you build with Google. Joe says that one of his main goals is to give business owners more time to work on the business. He says getting feedback from clients is really important to help them understand what can push the business and increase their domain authority. Fiona goes on to discuss with Joe the fears many journalists have around using AI. While AI offers many positives, it also has negatives and it's clear that AI is taking jobs from people in some sectors. Joe agrees and understands why AI can be so controversial. Fiona then asks Joe how he gets around copyright issues when using visuals and images with MyMarketr. Joe responds with ‘We use royalty free imagery and another thing you can do is use AI generated imagery.' Photography is an art form and finding the right person to take your images is really important. Joe stresses the importance of clients using authentic imagery because people can tell when AI has been used too much.Joe reminds listeners to remember the importance of having your own mobile device to take photos on. This way the images belong to you and there can be no copyright issues. He explains that ‘you don't have to go far in your own home or office to find images that can be relevant to the point you are trying to make online.' He does say that you can't beat a great photographer with professional images, but not everyone has the budget for this straight away.' Fiona finishes the podcast by asking Joe, ‘Is there anything coming up in 2027 that we can look forward to for MyMarketr?' Joe says that he's always been obsessed with having everything just available to you as a business owner. He wants MyMarketr to integrate into other things. Especially Chrome and Adobe. He wants to create My Companion, a marketing companion that can flag up something and say such and such has just released this and you should write about this...'The idea is to showcase things for clients using AI that can sit in the toolbar and organise things for you with prompts. You can contact Joe at MyMarketr.io or on LinkedIn, Facebook and TikTok.

Linda, with her four children, celebrating the Millennium Cat is the eldest of four children born to Linda and Glyn Razzell. “Mum had mental health problems, so the immediate assumption was that she had run away, and left the children. But we all knew he was violent”, she says. “He had been acquitted twice of attacking her… me, and then my brother and sister had witnessed it.”In March 2002, just weeks before she disappeared, Razzell had been acquitted of the unlawful wounding of Linda. It was the second time he had been found not guilty of violence towards her. Razzell was jailed for life in November 2003. He had claimed that Linda, from whom he was estranged, had disappeared, walking away and leaving their four children. A week earlier, the Family Court had frozen his bank account, because he was refusing to pay child maintenance. The prosecution case was that his motivation was primarily financial; he wanted to access his money without having to go to court. On March 19th, 2002, Razzell borrowed a car from a friend, then drove across Swindon to abduct Linda from an alleyway on her route to work. He then murdered her and disposed of her body.He was arrested eight days after her disappearance. There were significant inconsistencies in his story, and police accused him of disposing of evidence. He applied twice for leave to appeal, in 2004 and 2005, but was refused both times. He then went to the Criminal Cases Review Commission, (CCRC), which also refused. Never having shown remorse or admitted guilt, he was refused parole three years in a row. The first attempt was in 2021, when he became the first prisoner to be denied parole under Helen's Law. This legal principle is named after Helen Court, a 22-year-old insurance clerk murdered in 1988 by Ian Simms. Like Linda, her body has never been found.The Prisoners (Disclosure of Information about Victims) Act 2020 requires a parole board to weigh a convicted murderer's refusal to the location of their remains. In January this year, the parole board approved his release, claiming he was no longer a risk. But four months after the Parole Board's ruling, the High Court overturned the decision to release Razzell. Judge Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb said she was “not persuaded that the risk has diminished to such a level that offender management is capable of keeping the public safe if the defendant is released”.It was the first time that the High Court had overturned a Parole Board ruling after a referral from the Secretary of State for Justice.Following the decision, Cat said her father was “actively choosing to be controlling and abusive from within prison”.Listen to my interview with Cat, in which she speaks about her mother's disappearance when Cat was just 14, and how not knowing where her mother's body is has affected her and her siblings. Razzell has never admitted his crimes, and shows no remorse.

Nile Ranger joins us for the first episode back, and this one goes deep. From gold teeth at 16 to being sacked by three different clubs, robbing phones as a teenager to two spells in prison, Nile holds absolutely nothing back about the chaos of his career at Newcastle, Southampton, Swindon and beyond. The Andros Townsend bust-up in Ukraine, the Range Rover prank, the rape charge that derailed his career and the acquittal that followed it's all in here. Recorded before the news of Kevin Keegan's passing, Nile shares a story from his early days as a raw, star-struck young Newcastle player, including the time he called "the Gaffa" by his first name to his face. It's a small moment, but it says a lot about the kind of man Keegan was.

#442 Hungover Mastermind - Richard is basking in the possibly short-lived approval of one of his kids and is trying to make money off the ideas of the other one. His guest is Mock the Week favourite, Rhys James. They discuss the tallest building in Swindon, the worst place in Hertfordshire, writing right wing and left wing material on the same subject, what Richard said about Rhys when he saw him in a new act competition, the enduring problem of the last packet of crisps falling into a volcano, whether it's better to have one ball or one kidney, wearing a tuxedo on Pointless, why people might think Rhys is deaf and more sad tales of romantic embarrassment.Come and see us live http://richardherring.com/rhlstpSUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPE Hosted on Acast.

My favourite side is when they mix both the acoustic and electric guitars, which is done to perfection on the opening track, The Forest Edge. Samhain Tree by Chantelle Smith & Richard Wileman favorite track Wheel Of Fortune Wyrd/prog folk multi-instrumentalist duo hailing from Swindon have given us this lovely release. Both sing, and Chantelle plays guitar, harp, hurdy gurdy, shruti box, and bodran, with Richard providing all manner of guitars, bouzouki, keys, percussion, dulcimer and accordion. FILTER by GRICE favorite track Canticle (Fayre) We are blessed once again with a release from GRICE. He deftly flutters from the ethereal to art rock and pop, then jumps into jazz territory, with his silken voice properly at center stage. There are a slew of venerable guests to assist him here, from the usual instrumentation to the exotic. Infinity Baby by Baby Cool favorite track Mirage Led by Grace Cuell, this psych folk release offers both swiftly moving folk rock as well as lushly melodic balladry. Besides vocals, instrumentation is acoustic, electric, and pedal steel guitars, harp, synths, bass, and various percussive elements. The Anthology of UnAmerican Folk Music by Marisa Anderson favorite track Sarvi Simin Inspired by a 1952 Folkways compilation, guitarist Marisa Anderson has reimagined folk tunes from areas with which the US has been in conflict in the modern era. Besides electric, acoustic, and pedal steel guitars, you will hear accordion, violin, viola, and various keyboards. From Afghanistan to Vietnam, this is a thoughtful trip into the international language of music. Mørke refrenger by Sudan Dudan favorite track Gard og grind This is a critically acclaimed acoustic Norwegian traditional folk duo. With both male and female vocals, other instrumentation is comprised of guitar, langeleik, fiddle, harmonium, and jaw harp. Most of the songs have a serene quality to them, and some are quite haunting. Thoroughly enjoyable It Was In The Month Of May I by Albion favorite track Mis Mai Joe Parrish James brings another finely crafted Celtic/prog/rock/folk release. It ranges from acoustic folk tracks to jubilantly epic electric extravaganzas, never leaving behind Joe's Celtic roots. I am torn between the opening track, which is satisfyingly sung in Welsh, and the wistfully plaintive Cherry Hill (Maya II), but going with Mis Mai. The Glass Society by The Glass Society favorite track The Glass Society Multi-instrumentalist and composer Jon Farley has returned, collaborating with the phenomenal Alex Deane on lead vocals and nimble-fingered Julian Brotherhood on guitars and vocals. This is a powerful treatise that mostly centers unflinchingly on modern alienation. There are some bright spots as well, with Farley's genuine lyrics as poignant whether tackling the evil or the sublime. Not a bad track in the bunch, but the opening title track sets the stage. Cyning by Gealdýr favorite track Excalibur Dutch singer-songwriter Jonathan Berendsma, uses the pseudonym, “Gealdýr,” for his forays into Nordic folk. This release focuses on the Arthurian legends, and beautifully captures their mist-shrouded mythic antiquity. Momentum by Dan Caine favorite track Flow State Ambient guitarist from Liverpool uses post rock as a backdrop for these 6 solo pieces, but in a subtle and quiet sort of way, rather than it's typical presentation. My only complaint is that I could handle twice as many tracks, as it's a wonderful place to get settled into. Death Is Not The End by CHELSEA WOLFE Alt-rocker Chelsea Wolfe has released two singles (hopefully ahead of another full release), this one, and “The Dark.” I love the relentless build of this one, beginning in a whisper and concluding with an impassioned insistence.

Swindon. The epicentre of the global drone industry? As unlikely as it might seem, the Wiltshire town could soon be just that. But instead of taking advantage of the cutting-edge weaponry being developed in the area, the UK is falling behind in the deployment of this potentially decisive technology. Conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have shown just how vital drones are in modern warfare – used as they are to such brutal effect on the front line. But while the US and Ukraine are buying British, the Ministry of Defence has yet to commit to large-scale investment in our own drone capabilities. So, why is the UK dragging its feet? And how vulnerable does that leave the country at this time of increased global volatility? Mhari Aurora speaks to Sky's security and defence editor Deborah Haynes.

Jay Rayner is joined by chefs, cooks and food writers, Tim Hayward, Lerato, Melissa Thompson and Angela Gray at the Swindon Arts Centre to talk roast pork, tuna and the items they would add to a railway buffet.With Swindon's pig‑hill roots in mind, the panellists explore what makes the perfect roast pork, from choosing the right cut to methods of achieving proper crackling.They also discuss how cheesy a cheesecake should really be, whether steaks should be thick or thin, and relive some discomfort as they describe the foods that they feel should never be eaten cold.And, as World Tuna Day approaches, opinions are divided on canned tuna, with the panel debating oil versus brine and offering ideas to take this ingredient far beyond the realms of tuna mayo and pasta bakes.Producer: Dan Cocker Assistant Producer: William NortonA Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4

Scot and Jeff discuss the first part of XTC's career (1977-1983) with Andrew Gretes. Introducing the Band: Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) with guest Andrew Gretes. Andrew is a fiction writer teaching creative rhetoric at Georgetown and George Washington University. You can find his work at andrewgretes.com. Andrew's Music Pick: XTC There may be no language in our lungs to tell the world just how we feel about this band, but here we give you a three-hour explanation -- with many clips to illustrate where words fail -- why XTC is arguably the great lost group of the rock era. In the early Seventies, in a rural English nowheresville named Swindon, songwriters Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding got together with local drum-thwacker Terry Chambers to form a local trio with decidedly quirky, non-chart sensibilities. Later they were joined by keyboardist Barry Andrews and began to slowly build a national profile in the (by then) post-punk scene. And only slightly later than that, they decided they were interested in developing those chart sensibilities after all -- but without dropping even one bit of their quirk. But the story of this band is best told by their music -- and it's practically criminal that it isn't universally celebrated this world over. A decades-long career filled with nothing but one sparklingly intelligent post-punk and pop gem after another, XTC was always out of step with their times, always resolutely unassimilable to the true mainstream, always just a bit too self-consciously thoughtful. And eventually they made their grudging peace with it, resigned to always be that “great” group that might have scored a hit or two, might have bubbled around the Top 20 every few years or so during the 1980s, but whose impact was heard in the countless subsequent groups they influenced. The story of XTC is a musical tale that will inspire anyone who cares about true songcraft, one filled with immense optimism and joy as well as some of the bitterest sociological observations to be put into British song. Political Beats has been building up to its XTC episodes (this is the first of two) ever since the day the podcast was founded. The second part of their story is every bit as impressive -- and different -- as the first. All hail the amazing crash-boom-band. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
