  • Snooze

    These types of podcasts, mostly aimed at middle aged women; are all the same. Such bland, repetitive content.

Liz Nugent - “We live in a very unfair world.”

Liz Nugent - “We live in a very unfair world.”
Q: How do you balance writing a new novel with your stage play projects and a busy festival circuit?

Liz Nugent - “We live in a very unfair world.”
Q: What can you tell us about the new novel, beyond what you've shared already?
Liz Nugent discusses that the next book continues to explore complex family dynamics and themes around identity and resilience, but she keeps specifics under wraps, emphasizing the importance of letting the narrative and characters reveal themselves during the writing and editing process.
Simon Harris “There’s Always Challenges.”
Q: How do you view the impact of AI on employment and public services?
AI is here to stay with both pluses and minuses; the focus should be on maximizing opportunities, upskilling, and using AI to improve front-line services like healthcare, while carefully considering ethics and job displacement.
Simon Harris “There’s Always Challenges.”
Q: What do you think about the social media age ban proposal and its aims?
The guest emphasizes that the goal is to protect childhood and give parents better tools, not to lecture or punish; he advocates age verification and a European-level approach, while acknowledging the complexities and potential loopholes.
