In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Hak Baker's music selection was top drawer. Unexpected gems from Reggae to Ital Disco, via 90's Chill Out and West Coast Hip Hop. The chat was peppered with laughter, touching moments and revealing stories of MC battles in youth clubs, navigating prison life, blue Ford Focus' and ASDA's champion CD section. And of course a few live surprises (check out the bonus content). But could we secure the dubplate...? Hak Baker is one of a kind. A British-Jamaican musician firmly rooted in London's East End, he is once-in-a-generation storyteller; counting the likes of Skepta, Celeste, Pete Doherty and the late Benjamin Zephaniah as fans and friends, Hak's music is unfiltered and uncategorisable sitting somewhere between The Streets and Billy Bragg, via grime culture and reggae roots. He has performed at Glastonbury Festival's famous Other Stage, and our very own Rum Shack, Royal Albert Hall and headlined Somerset House. He has just released an acclaimed documentary 'Hakeem' which premiered at London's BFI iMAX. Lyrix Organix reimagines a certain legendary radio show for a new generation, inviting one very special guest to select records to take with them to their desert island. The twist? One of our guests' track selections, re-recorded as a 'special' by the original vocalist, pressed as a one-off dubplate and presented in front of a live audience. Imagine each 'Immigrant Island Dubplates' episode as one of those small boats crossing the Channel - carrying change-makers, entrepreneurs, poets, musicians, charity founders, festival pioneers, activists and community leaders. Now more than ever, its time to spotlight the unsung heroes that make this strange island of Britain, Great - powered by intimate stories of immigration, identity and subcultures. The show was recorded live at Royal Albert Hall's Elgar Room - , in partnership with Royal Albert Hall. Thank you making this episode possible. On the night there were surprise live performances by acclaimed poet Yomi Sode, and Hak himself.

Welcome to Immigrant Island. We couldn't have asked for a better guest to launch Immigrant Island Dubplates - Jordan Stephens has done the lot. So we listened to his favourite music, heard some incredible stories, and presented him a very special gift. There may have been tears. Jordan has been a chart-topping rapper with Rizzle Kicks, best-selling author, poet, actor (inc Star Wars: Rogue One), TV presenter and mental health campaigner. The multi-hyphenate creative guides us through his impeccable 'desert island' selection - spanning Lauryn Hill to The Streets via Radiohead - with profound personal tales, childhood memories and industry misadventures. Jordan is a rare beast - an unfiltered, funny and brutally honest guest who speaks openly of drug addiction, social anxiety, ADHD, bullying and toxic masculinity. And how music helped overcome many of these challenges. In true 'Immigrant Island'-style, Jordan is also an inspiring force for positive social change - launching major mental health campaign #IAMWHOLE (which was mentioned in the Houses of Parliament). His highly-anticipated autobiography 'Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak and Dogs' is out on 22 Aug 2024. Imagine each 'Immigrant Island Dubplates' episode as one of those small boats crossing the Channel - carrying change-makers, entrepreneurs, poets, musicians, charity founders, festival pioneers, activists and community leaders.
