Helping companies build resilience, unlock growth opportunities and navigate evolving regulations landscape across issues surrounding carbon, waste and energy – that’s what we’re going to talk about today. Founded in 2013, our guest Evercomm is a Singapore-based engineering and technology company that aims to assist enterprises in optimising resource efficiency, managing climate risk scenarios and meeting international compliance standards to ensure long-term operational and financial sustainability. This is done through the use of the firm’s advanced planning and simulation tools that provide precision-driven carbon, energy and waste reduction strategies that are customised for different company’s needs and operations. The company said its strategic partners include CTBC Bank, Mitsubishi Electric as well as Shell Energy. Its solutions are also used in projects involving the Punggol Digital District and the Jurong Port. But why are such asset performance management solutions provided by Evercomm Singapore critical to enterprises, particularly those in the energy intensive sector? What are the key opportunities for the firm particularly in Southeast Asia where emerging economies walk the tightrope between industrial growth and net-zero ambitions? On Under the Radar, finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Ted Chen, Co-founder, CEO and Chief Product Architect, Evercomm. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kendrick Diaz discusses Hebrews 6:9-11—“But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end.”

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with award-winning poet Stephanie Bolster about her new book, Long Exposure (Palimpsest Press, 2025). After Hurricane Katrina, the photographer Robert Polidori flew to New Orleans to document the devastation. In the wreckage he witnessed, and in her questions about what she saw in what he saw, Stephanie Bolster found the beginnings of a long poem. Those questions led to unexpected places; meanwhile, life kept pouring in. The ensuing book, Long Exposure, is Bolster's fifth, a roaming, associative exploration of disasters and their ongoing aftermaths, sufferings large and small, and the vulnerability and value of our own lives. Incremental, unsettling, Long Exposure rushes to and through. Stephanie Bolster has published four books of poetry, the most recent of which, A Page from the Wonders of Life on Earth, appeared with Brick Books in 2011 and was a finalist for the Pat Lowther Award. Her first book, White Stone: The Alice Poems (Véhicule Press, 1998) won the Governor General's and the Gerald Lampert Awards, and her second, Two Bowls of Milk (McClelland & Stewart, 1999), won the Archibald Lampman Award and was a finalist for the Trillium Award. Her work has been translated into French (Pierre Blanche: poèmes d'Alice, Les Éditions du Noroît, 2007), Spanish, German, and Serbo-Croatian. She edited The Best Canadian Poetry in English 2008 (Tightrope), the inaugural volume in that ongoing series; and co-edited Penned: Zoo Poems (Signal/Véhicule, 2009). Born in Vancouver, she grew up in Burnaby, BC, now lives in Pointe-Claire, Québec on the Mohawk (Kanien'kehá:ka) territory of Skaniatará:ti, and has taught creative writing at Concordia University in Montréal since 2000.

In this short and powerful episode, host Colin Kelly from Comsteria shares a personal story from his vocal coaching sessions to reveal a crucial lesson in leadership and self-development.    Discover why we sometimes fail to hit the high notes during routine "warm-ups" but manage to reach them when we are "up on the tight rope" of an actual performance.

Tune in to learn why taking that chance can elevate your career and help you discover what you and your team are truly capable of.   Plus, the podcast is expanding!

While Finey explores the culinary delights of Singapore, it's an old school three ring circus and there is no shortage of clowns, that's for sure. There are no safety nets used here. Roll on up under the Big Top (one of Stephen's recently laundered golf polos). Ken performs stunts, both cunning and not so. For Kev, it's the Tightrope and other Leon Russell songs. The grand finale is Stephen 'Danger is my middle name' Peak * and his amazing death defying fire eating and sword swallowing act. That is something to behold -especially as he washes it down with a seven course banquet from Fongs of Brighton - and in the show stopping finale finale with the wave of a sauce smeared chopstick, SJ peak becomes the elephant in the room. Ta Da! And to think the tattooed man missed all this. Musically, it is the purity of rediscovering a 4IP Top 40 chart from February 1968. No bells or whistles required.

We're back with another commentary track, this time for a movie by a director we almost covered: David Cronenberg. His 1988 identical twin gynecologist horror-tragedy DEAD RINGERS deals with all kinds of themes we love: the nature of the self, of experience, of the body, of morality. It's also got the guy from Soderbergh's KAFKA and the lady from TIGHTROPE and OBSESSION. Listen to this along with the film or just listen on its own - it works either way, in our opinion!

FEMA's workforce is being cut. The primary federal mitigation grant has been canceled. State disaster reimbursements have been frozen. Track these separately and they look like the usual policy disputes and budget fights. Track them together and the signal gets harder to miss: the federal government is pulling back from emergency management while pursuing actions that actively increase the threats state and local systems have to manage.In this episode, Kyle King breaks down what that squeeze looks like from both directions. He walks through the numbers on what state and local agencies are actually working with, examines why what's being called devolution is functionally abandonment with a policy justification, and poses the one question every organization with a continuity plan should be asking this quarter.Show Highlights[01:30] "The federal government is cutting the safety net and shaking the tightrope at the same time"[02:00] The devolution argument and where it breaks down[03:00] The numbers: FEMA workforce cuts, BRIC cancellation, EMPA freeze, and $11B in frozen reimbursements[03:30] The FEMA Review Council report: 160 pages reduced to 20, vote canceled[04:00] Where the burden is landing: emergency management's lost mission[05:00] Argonne National Laboratory data: $6.3M median state budgets, local agencies with one or fewer employees[05:30] Why interstate compacts and NIMS weren't built to function without a federal tier[06:00] The compression problem: strained resources and exposed vulnerabilities[08:30] NATO baseline requirements and why the current trajectory undermines both military and civil resilience[09:30] The one question every organization should ask this quarterGo DeeperGovernance gaps don't wait for policy clarity.

This guide from Comsteria provides essential advice for high-profile individuals on how to handle difficult media inquiries without resorting to dishonesty. Media trainer Colin Kelly argues that claiming an inability to comment is often a transparent lie that makes a speaker look defensive and invites further aggressive questioning. Instead, Colin advocates for total candour, suggesting that professionals should explicitly state they are unwilling to speak on a topic at that moment. By asserting this boundary truthfully, speakers maintain a position of strength and prevent journalists from exploiting inconsistencies in their story. This strategy helps politicians and executives navigate the pressures of public life while maintaining their integrity and personal agency. Ultimately, honest communication is the most effective way to manage a reputation during investigations or sensitive situations.

To remind us what has to heal to put MAGA behind us, here's my 2020 conversation with Pulitzer Prize winning husband-wife team, NICHOLAS KRISTOF & SHERYL WuDUNN. Their book, TIGHTROPE, tells how Nick's childhood home - Yamhill, Oregon - was devastated by the loss of well-paying jobs and policy failures in education, healthcare, and justice that led to his childhood friends' deaths of despair - and how we can end this crisis. We recorded this episode in the final year of Trump's first term, a few weeks before the pandemic exploded.

In this episode of the Review of Democracy podcast, Gabriel Pereira speaks with Gabriela Lotta about Democracy on a Tightrope: Politics and Bureaucracy in Brazil,co-authored with Pedro Abramovay and recently published by Central European University Press .Drawing on the Brazilian case, the conversation explores the risks that emerge when the relationship between politics and bureaucracy breaks down: on the one hand, therise of technocratic governance and the “fetishization of meritocracy”; on the other, the erosion of bureaucratic institutions by political leaders.Through a series of concrete policy cases, Lotta reflects on how these tensions shape democratic governance and what a more productive relationship between politicalleadership, expertise, and citizen participation might look like—both in Brazil and beyond.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin sat down with US president Donald Trump for the traditional St Patrick's Day summit, with Mr Trump in typically boisterous form.

As the second week of the war with Iran draws to a close, any suggestion that Australia's involvement would be limited to in-principle support has evaporated. Last Friday, the Guardian and other media outlets reported that three Australians were on the US submarine that torpedoed an Iranian warship, killing 87 people. On Tuesday, the government confirmed it would send a surveillance aircraft, missiles, and personnel to the United Arab Emirates.Jo Tovey sits down with Gabrielle Jackson, Mike Ticher and Ben Doherty to discuss the tests Labor faces back home as Australia's involvement in the war escalates

This week kicked off with a tumultuous moment for the markets as the war with Iran set off panic and spiking oil prices. But the White House didn't flinch.

Playbook's Jack Blanchard and White House reporter Megan Messerly discuss the tightrope that President Donald Trump is walking on the issue during an all-important midterm year.

Most people hide their addiction until it destroys them — Kellan Fluckiger spent $3,000 a week on cocaine while testifying before Congress, then flatlined in an ICU and met God at the door. In this episode of The Root of All Success, Jason Duncan sits down with Kellan Fluckiger, a former energy executive turned coach, author of 30+ books, billboard-charting choir performer, and founder of The Ultimate Life Formula. After hiding cocaine addiction and depression for 30 years while working at the highest levels of government and industry, Kellan experienced a divine intervention in 2007, quit cold turkey, and walked away from millions in contracts. In 2018, he died in the ICU for 17 days — and what happened at that doorway changed everything. Kellan shares how severe childhood abuse created the “I'm not good enough” belief that fueled decades of overachievement and self-destruction, his 18-hour out-of-body life review of pain he caused and received, and the four truths God gave him about purpose and mission. This conversation dives into: • How childhood abuse created a lifelong “prove I'm good enough” addiction • Spending $3,000/week on cocaine while running energy operations and testifying before Congress • The 2007 divine intervention and 18-hour life review • Quitting cocaine cold turkey after hearing “it is enough” • Meeting his wife Joy at a Yo-Yo Ma concert when God said, “You need to marry this woman. Tonight.” • Walking away from millions in contracts without knowing what came next • The 2018 near-death experience: flatlining in the ICU for 17 days • Standing at the doorway with God and being asked, “Do you want to come home?” • A vision of infinite domains (like the movie Contact with Jodie Foster) • Four truths brought back from death: You're divine. You have a mission. You have gifts. Help is available. • Why God said “Because you don't believe,” when asked why people settle • The Book of Context framework for eliminating limiting beliefs • God's final question before returning: “Are you sure?” • How “context straitjackets” (BDEEP: Beliefs, Definitions, Experiences, Expectations, Perceptions) limit us • Why success isn't what you accumulate — it's what you make of yourself • His refusal to give up: “I friggin won't stop.” If you're battling hidden addiction, stuck in “not good enough” patterns, or wondering if transformation is possible after decades of pain — this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about redemption and purpose.

Prince William is making his first visit to Saudi Arabia this week to celebrate “growing trade, energy and investment ties” between the kingdom and the UK. But with a number of sensitive issues on the table – from defence and intelligence sharing to Saudi Arabia's poor human rights record – how will the prince walk the diplomatic tightrope? Should the UK be pursuing a closer relationship with the kingdom at all? This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

The U.S. Department of Justice is now operating under a level of scrutiny it has never faced in the Jeffrey Epstein matter, forced by newly enacted transparency laws to disclose records it spent years sealing, slow-walking, or shielding under claims of prosecutorial discretion and victim privacy. Publicly, DOJ insists it is complying in good faith—releasing documents in phases, redacting sensitive material, and coordinating with courts to avoid prejudicing ongoing matters. Privately, the department is clearly trying to manage exposure, balancing legal compliance against the institutional risk of revealing how aggressively—or passively—it handled Epstein and his network over decades. The result is a calibrated drip of information that technically satisfies statutory requirements while avoiding a full, unfiltered reckoning with past charging decisions, non-prosecution agreements, and investigative dead ends.That tightrope walk is most obvious in how DOJ frames delays and redactions as necessary safeguards rather than resistance, even as critics argue the law's intent was to end precisely this kind of gatekeeping. By releasing materials without broader narrative context, the department limits immediate legal jeopardy while still appearing responsive to Congress and the public. But the strategy carries risk: each partial disclosure fuels further questions about what remains withheld and why, especially when previously secret decisions appear indefensible in hindsight. In effect, DOJ is complying with the letter of the Epstein transparency laws while testing how much control it can retain over the story—an approach that may keep it legally safe in the short term, but politically and reputationally exposed as more records inevitably come to light.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
