4.2 out of 5 stars from 68 ratings
  • Interesting if I could hear it properly.

    Interesting local topics but sound quality is bad (too soft) so have limited opportunity to listen to it, ie only when I have no background noise

  • Sound quality

    Love this podcast, except when I have to turn it off because the sound levels are so terrible and I can’t hear half of it. Come on Business News, get the professionals in and sort out the tech. Treat yourself, you’re worth it!

    We love this Podcast but we can never hear the other presenter (especially when we are listening in the car). It would be a full 5 stars if the sound could be addressed!

At Close of Business podcast June 10 2026
Q: What are the four high-priority projects, and what benefits do they bring to the system?
The high-priority projects cluster around strengthening the transmission network to connect wind and solar farms in the Midwest and Wheat Belt, with existing upgrades improving reliability and enabling larger-scale generation integration.
At Close of Business podcast June 10 2026
Q: Broadly, how do you feel the 2030 transition is progressing to date?
It's progressing but slower than stakeholders hoped, a chicken-and-egg scenario where developers want to build but need transmission upgrades and environmental and community clearances before projects can move forward.
Mark My Words June 5 2026
Q: What did you take out of Adam Simpson's leadership discussion?
He highlighted the importance of preparation, the 10 percent culture, and the necessity of building trust within a team, even when external pressure and media scrutiny are high.
At Close of Business podcast June 11 2026
Q: From a personal view, what have been some of the most significant changes in WA over the last four decades and how has Gerard Daniels placed itself for the long term amid those changes?
Significant changes include the entrance of more women into recruitment, the impact of the internet and LinkedIn on sourcing and transparency, and the ongoing emergence of AI; Gerard Daniels has adapted by embracing digital tools while maintaining a personal, trust-based approach and expanding internationally to sustain long-term relevance.
At Close of Business podcast June 11 2026
Q: Just, I guess, right out of the gate, what were some key things that led toward you filing this particular story?
The story centers on Gerard Daniels' 40-year milestone, the founders' long-standing trust, and the firm's evolution from a Perth-based operation to a global player with expansions into the UK, US, and Abu Dhabi; it also highlights the WA market context from the 1980s to today.
