  • Good Interviews, Awful Audio

    Very interesting and different interviews. Don’t think Jimmy has a particularly good interview style though. But audio quality is awful, the general volume level is the lowest of all the podcasts I listen to so have to turn the volume right up and Jimmy’s mic level is usually so much lower that the guest so it goes from quiet with Jimmy speaking to the guest shouting when using headphones. The Andrew Barclay pod is the worst, basically can’t hear Jimmy so a one sided interview. No good for a pro... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Heathrow Runs Britain's Biggest Workplace | CEO Thomas Woldbye
Q: How does Heathrow actually earn money beyond just airline charges?
Revenue comes from airline charges (per aircraft and per passenger) but also from parking, shops, and real estate; all income is pooled and then redistributed to determine airline prices, with slots owned and traded by airlines rather than Heathrow.
How Heathrow Runs Britain's Biggest Workplace | CEO Thomas Woldbye
Q: What's the biggest difference between running Heathrow and Copenhagen Airport?
The guest explains that Heathrow is far more densely utilized and structurally different, with three underground stations, four terminals, and a complex stakeholder and regulatory landscape that makes it unique and requires different management approaches.
Tom Kerridge REVEALS What Destroys the Hospitality Industry
Q: What do you make of how government policy has affected hospitality during and after the pandemic?
The guest explains that furlough and targeted support helped the industry survive the immediate crisis, but ongoing policy gaps—especially around energy costs, rising VAT, and inconsistent cross-ministerial messaging—have impeded long-term recovery and growth. He advocates for a model that shows growth and reinvestment rather than just saving existing businesses.
Amazon: The Plan to Get 30,000 People Into Work
Q: What do you look for when hiring senior executives, and how do you evaluate their ability to lead teams?
I look for a track record of hiring great talent, investing in that talent, and the ability to get teams upgraded. I prefer concrete examples of time, not hypotheticals, and I want to know what they are most proud of and what they would do differently if given another chance.
Amazon: The Plan to Get 30,000 People Into Work
Q: Can you talk us through some of that upskilling and how it fits into your broader workforce strategy?
We offer Career Choice, paying for nationally recognized qualifications up to three thousand pounds per year, with a target to train hundreds of thousands globally by 2030. We tailor offerings to meet high-demand roles like mechatronics, HGV driving, and other skills to help employees move up within Amazon and fill critical gaps.
