[Internetradio] Podding Along - Issue 6
Podcasts from international and public radio sources that I've found particularly interesting and edifying as I'm plodding along in my regular exercise regimen. In addition to via the websites referenced, these podcasts generally are made available through several other popular internet sources such as iTunes and TuneIn. -- REAR VISION - ABC Radio National The Cult of Investment: the Fabulous Growth of the Wealth Management Industry. In a recent report, the Boston Consulting Group stated that in 2013 global private financial wealth grew by 14.6 percent to reach 152 trillion dollars. The industry that preserves, invests and sometimes loses that wealth by using exotic and complex investments is one of the largest sectors in financial services. Wealth management has been transformed from private banking for the super-rich to a cult of investment. No longer just a shake of the hand, a gentleman's agreement in a wood paneled office, but managed from what the industry calls a 'platform'. (29') http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/rearvision/looking-after-the-one-per-cent3athe-fabulous-growth-of-the-wea/5529890 LATE NIGHT LIVE - ABC Radio National The Economy Explained - Joseph Stiglitz; Ann Moyal, A Memoir of Someone Most Americans Have Never Heard Of. The distinguished American economist Joseph Stiglitz won a Nobel prize for describing the macroeconomic consequences of the fact that monetary transactions are not undertaken with perfect information. But less discussed is the way his orientation as a thinker was shaped by a childhood spent in Gary, Indiana, an industrial town named after the chairman of U.S. Steel. He spoke to Phillip Adams at the Sydney Town Hall. A Woman of Influence is Ann Moyal's second autobiography and spans the past twenty years of her life and work as an eminent historian of Australian science and technology. Ann's early career as research assistant to Lord Beaverbrook (Canadian media mogul, best friend and confidante of Winston Churchill) and her years in academe back in Australia were exciting and stimulating and rather than slowing down in her older age, she has found it to be full of passion, intensity and involvement, founding the Independent Scholars' Association of Australia, and writing m any books. (55') THE MEDIA REPORT - ABC Radio National Peter Greste and the Future of Al Jazeera; Young Australian Journalist of the Year Winners. What are the implications for Al Jazeera's reporters around the world after three of its staff were sentenced to seven years gaol in Egypt? Will the network do things differently in the future? And the Walkley Young Australian Journalist of the Year, Ella Rubeli, and two other category winners discuss journalism, the pros and cons of multi-skilling and why they don't watch television.

[Internetradio] Podding Along - Issue 7
Podcasts from international and public radio sources that I've found particularly interesting and edifying as I'm plodding along in my regular exercise regimen. In addition to via the websites referenced, these podcasts generally are made available through several other popular internet sources such as iTunes and TuneIn. -- BIG IDEAS - ABC Radio National Smaller Government, Bigger Economy? Should we shrink the public sector and give the market a greater share? With the current focus on reducing public debt, the federal treasurer says we have unsustainable expectations about what governments can deliver and so governments need to cut spending and downsize. But does smaller government guarantee economic growth? Will the private sector rise to fill the space? (55') http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/bigideas/smaller-government-bigger-economy/5576556 UNDER THE INFLUENCE - CBC Radio One The Elevator Pitch The definition of an elevator pitch is being able to pitch an idea in the time it takes an elevator to go from the first floor to the second. Distilling a selling idea down to a few words is the ultimate test: If it can be encapsulated in one compelling sentence, it's strong. If it can't be, the idea is probably fuzzy. We'll talk about some of the best elevator pitches ever used, from the world of business, books and movies - and we'll talk about why elevator pitches make marketing campaigns better.
