James highlights the interconnection between environmental challenges and systemic disparities, including access to healthcare in a timely manner.---------Guest Quote:“ When you start looking at the broader, interconnected issues with delivering a healthcare system over the long term, and that requires, obviously funding from government, ongoing improvements to the healthcare system, at the same time at which climate change impacts are not only affecting the healthcare system, but the broader economy.  You can quite plausibly develop scenarios where all those things coincide in a very difficult situation and problematic situation where funding goes down, climate impacts go up and, for example, waiting times increase, more people transition to private healthcare, if they can afford it.”---------Time Stamps(00:29) Tonkin + Taylor's report: Key findings(04:09) How the healthcare context is unique(08:38) How climate risk exacerbates inequities(11:26) Recommendations for companies---------Sponsor copyRethinking EHS is brought to you by the Inogen Alliance.

If we don't do it, not a lot gets done on the front end part of the business because there's not a lot of money to be made in coming up with innovative munitions.” — Ashley Johnson  “[Indian Head] is a national asset. We've worked really hard over the last ten or twelve years to recover that. My legacy, if there is one, is to make sure that we take care of it.” — Ashley Johnson  “I'll tell anybody that will listen, you can have a fabulous and meaningful career as well as something that's important to the nation by being part of that apparatus [in civil service].” — Ashley Johnson  Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Ashley JohnsonNaval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division Leviathan Wakes The Expanse Series Leadership Blueprints PodcastMCFAMCFA CareersBJ Kraemer on LinkedIn

Businesses today are operating in an environment where a discussion about climate risk must be front and center. The question is: How do companies move from simply being aware of climate risks, to taking real, strategic action? In this episode, we discuss regional climate risks, data technology, and the forward-looking planning critical for building resilience.We hear from co-host for this episode, Laura Kirkvold, Sustainability Working Group Leader with Inogen Alliance and Consultant with Antea Group USA, James Hughes, Technical Director for Climate and Resilience and Strategic Consulting at Tonkin + Taylor, Audrey Beattie, Senior Manager in the Sustainability Practice at Antea Group USA, and Michalis Lellis, Water and Environmental Specialist at Baden Consulting. ---------Guest Quotes“Uncertainty is the key thing we're talking about here. For a business, when we've got a range of different plausible futures, the question is how do you make good decisions in a world that's rapidly changing?... We use the word non-stationary where we've largely experienced a stationary climate in the past and things are rapidly changing." - James“The key is being able to connect climate-related risks to business impacts and understanding, how does a risk actually show up in their operations and also critically in their supply chain?” - Audrey “The integration of real-time environmental monitoring with predictive modeling, supported by predictive telemetry and remote control systems is a game changer. It allows companies to track conditions like air quality, water availability and temperature in real time, while forecasting emerging risk…it enables businesses to act proactively, preventing damage, reducing downtime, and protecting both communities and the environment.” - Michalis“Scenario analysis is now a tool that is newer to us and available to us, but so few companies are actually leveraging that information." - Laura---------Time Stamps(02:04) Regional climate challenges(07:29) Translating risk assessments into strategies(11:01) Resilience in 2025 and beyond(25:54) Tools and methods for climate risk assessment(37:37) Phil and Laura's key takeaways---------Sponsor copyRethinking EHS is brought to you by the Inogen Alliance.

Adrian Reynard's motor racing outfit were one of the best in the world during the 1980s and '90s – winning multiple championships across Formula 3000, F3 and IndyCar. Reynard Racing Cars also held an impressive record of winning the first race of every major single-seater competition they entered.  But when Adrian helped create the British American Racing F1 team in 1999, expectations were high and that previous success didn't quite translate in the pinnacle of motorsport. Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Adrian tells the fascinating story of BAR - how the team was formed with 1997 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve, why a big falling out with Team Principal Craig Pollock led to Adrian resigning, and how he helped lay the foundations for that team to later become World Champions as Brawn GP and then Mercedes. Adrian reflects on his F1 ventures before BAR as well - including a failed attempt to create his own team in 1990, despite selling his house to fund it, and his experiences with March F1 as a 29-year-old Technical Director in the 1980s. And Adrian also talks about inspiring legendary engineers like Rory Byrne and Pat Symonds, why he had an up-and-down relationship with the late Eddie Jordan, and the small part he played in the car that Michael Schumacher won his first F1 race in.    DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION CHARTER To find out more about the Diversity and Inclusion charter agreed by all 10 F1 teams, Formula 1 and the FIA, with support from the Royal Academy of Engineering and Sir Lewis Hamilton's foundation, Mission 44, click here It's All To Drive For in 2025.

In F1 the numbers never lie; whether it's zeros on a paycheck, thousandths of a second on a stopwatch or points of downforce on a new front wing. At the halfway stage of the F1 World Championship, the points tables for drivers and constructors tell their own story. McLaren are well ahead in both; Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull trail badly. But by looking at the underlying numbers we can spot trends and learn more about what's really going on this season and what might happen in the second half. We did this at the quarter stage and now at we look again, after 12 rounds in this 24 race F1 World Championship. Joining James Allen are special guest Dan Fallows - one of the top F1 engineers of the last two decades, he headed up the Red Bull aero department from the Sebastian Vettel era up to the first ground effect car in 2022 and was most recently Technical Director of Aston Martin F1 team.

How did “ass,” a word for donkeys and butts, become what linguists call an “intensifier” for just about everything? How do pharmaceuticals get their wacky names? And why do we all seem to think that aliens from outer space would travel to Earth just to kidnap our cows? In this episode, you'll hear from linguistics professor Nicole Holliday, historians Greg Eghigian and Mike Goleman, and professional “namer” Laurel Sutton.

What happens when yesterday's landfills become today's problem—cracking, leaking, or resurfacing in the wake of poor maintenance or climate-driven disasters? In this episode, we dive into how companies and communities are tackling the legacy of contaminated sites, and the best practices shaping a safer, more resilient future for remediation. We hear from Angelique Dickson, co-host in this episode, President of the Inogen Alliance and EVP at Antea Group USA; Paul Walker, Technical Director at Tonkin + Taylor New Zealand; and Andrew Green, Senior Associate at Peter J. Ramsay & Associates, Australia.---------Guest Quotes“The  relationship with landfills is an interesting one. They're a necessary evil. We all use them to a greater or lesser extent. But I think there's an element that we don't want to think about them. We don't want them to be there. We just want somebody else to deal with them, basically.” - Paul“ Our landfill space has been relatively well regulated.That's not to say that we don't have historic landfills that are sort of forgotten, or our legacy sites…But basically what we've got in Victoria is some of the highest standards for landfill design, siting design, operation and rehabilitation in the country. A lot of other states and even other countries use our standards as their default.” - Andrew---------Time Stamps(00:00) Landfills: Out of sight, out of mind? (00:46) Meet the hosts and guests(01:19) Biggest risks of modern landfills(02:41) New Zealand's legacy landfills: A case study(09:54) Australia's best practices in landfill management(16:59) Climate change and its impact on landfills(22:28) Innovations and global knowledge sharing(32:15) Key takeaways with the hosts---------Sponsor copyRethinking EHS is brought to you by the Inogen Alliance.

This episode is a first for Decoder Ring: a live show, recorded at the WBUR Festival in Boston, Massachusetts. Given the setting, we decided to take on a Boston-based cultural mystery: namely, the “Boston movie.” Beginning in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Hollywood has churned out a whole cycle of films drenched in Beantown's particularities, crimes, crops, class conflicts, and accents, from The Departed to The Town. Why does a city smaller than El Paso or Jacksonville loom so large in the cinematic imagination? Why does Boston have a movie subgenre all its own? What makes a Boston movie a Boston movie? With the help of three guests—film critic Ty Burr; Lisa Simmons, founder of the Roxbury International Film Festival; and Boston University linguist Danny Erker—we look closely at the history and heyday of the Boston movie: how The Friends of Eddie Coyle set the template, Good Will Hunting shoved the door wide open, and Mystic River ushered in an imperial phase. We discuss the importance of race and class to the Boston movie and the city itself, the role of homegrown movie stars like Ben Affleck and Mark Wahlberg, and, of course, the best and worst of Boston accents on film.
