  • Why separate features??

    Hello,

    Please play as one continuous show as in the present format I can’t listen while out walking or driving due the current format of several separate features. It’s my favourite programme on radio but often missed because of the ‘bitty’ podcast presentation.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Starbase: What It's Like to Live in the Town Elon Musk Built
Q: Tell us more about what Starbase is like and who lives there.
Starbase functions as a highly mission-driven enclave where most residents are SpaceX employees or their families, and where access is tightly controlled, public events are limited, and life is organized around a corporate vision of interplanetary opportunity.
Single Motherhood and Success with Joanne Sweeney
Q: What about the impact of AI on jobs and opportunities for workers?
AI will disrupt some roles but also create new pathways; the key is combining domain expertise with AI, staying adaptable, and focusing on human skills like critical thinking and creativity to stay relevant.
Single Motherhood and Success with Joanne Sweeney
Q: What was Harvard like?
Harvard was a dream opened up by a door that I never thought would be available to me, a community of highly accomplished professionals, and it reinforced how important ongoing learning and networking are to staying at the cutting edge.
Can Robots Replace Workers?
Q: How might European industry be affected by China's automation push?
European carmakers could face increased competition and pressures to adopt automation themselves; there are potential benefits from tech transfer and investment if Chinese automation moves into Europe, though it may not create zero jobs.
Can Robots Replace Workers?
Q: What are concrete examples of automation already changing jobs in China?
Examples include a car plant with a 10-to-1 robot ratio producing hundreds of thousands of cars with relatively few staff, and autonomous taxi projects in Shenzhen that could drastically reduce driver roles in the future.
