Show Notes
It’s our International Women’s Day 2019 episode!
In it we talk with the hugely inspirational Caroline Walmsley, CEO and co-founder of Further My Future.
Caroline, Brandon and Lizzie discuss:
Attitudes towards apprenticeships
Skills and experience
Importance of role models - and modelling behaviours - for young women… and young men
Reflecting on how equality attitudes have changed in the past couple of decades
The damaging narrative of ‘having it all’ for women
Why IWD matters and why we can’t be complacent about equality
Role of men: they are just as important and are part of the solution
Simple steps we can all do to improve equality for more: the power of conversations, discussions, understanding.

Food for thought: The changing face of the hospitality industry
In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Jenny Rice (Associate Professor of Writing, Rhetoric, and Digital Studies at the University of Kentucky) to explore what we would call conspiracy theories - so a belief that some covert but influential organization is responsible for an unexplained event. And there are plenty to chose from - Sandy Hook, QAnon, Moon landings, even Covid-19 - to some these are all elaborate hoaxes. Jenny is an expert in ‘conspiracy narratives’ - which we’ll dig into in the podcast.
