In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

An excellent track from an up-and-coming writer, Tim Woods. This story relates to people who spend so much time in diversionary hobbies that their own life very rapidly becomes an unsatisfactory past. Tim says that this story was inspired by one of my own and for those few kind words, I am very grateful

As far as I am aware, this is the sole recorded output of a duo who were prevalent on the Folk/Poetry scene in Sheffield in the 90's. This album dates from '91 and I know I saw them prior to that. They are Stuart Arfield (Guitar) and Rob Smith (Spoken Word). Most of the sentiments expressed here were sarcastic comments on the way the world was progressing (?) Unfortunately for us, the world seems intent on imitating Bob's astute observations. Stuart's guitar can be heard around Yorkshire with Big City Blues.…
