  • Bias politics

    It’s a shame the bias is so clear. It makes it an opinion podcast and not news.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Denmark Goes Offline, Internationals Leave & Debt Rethink: LWID S5E13
Q: Kelly, do you by any chance have some thoughts on whether there are more internationals leaving Denmark than arriving?
Yes—data shows more internationals are arriving than leaving, but retention is declining; the net effect is a growing influx coupled with significant churn driven by job, housing, and policy constraints.
Danish Oil Shock Fears, Noma Abuse Fallout & Licorice Limits: LWID S5E9
Q: What does the panel think about the Noma abuse allegations and the response from sponsors and leadership?
They view the revelations as a serious breach of workplace ethics, highlighting the exploitation of international staff and the need for accountability beyond reputation and high-pressure culture.
