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.

Francis, Caitlin, Anya, and Alan finish “The Amber Spyglass!” We debate the nature of Dust. What it means to grow up. If Philip Pulllman planned it all out from the start. We love this book, and we love the bittersweet ending. Sophia is a wisdom thing. Novellas are a thing. Telenovelas are a totally different thing. Teleology is a philosophical thing. You can visit the place Lyra and Will share across worlds. The Hero’s Journey is a mythic thing. Spinoza was a philosopher. Pan settled as an European Pine Marten. The Alpine Chough is a bird. University of Iowa study of corvid analogical thinking abilities The Abyss is a lack of a thing. Bruno Latour was a process philosopher. Socratic Dialogues are a literary structure thing.

Iorek using a hammer off-screen was the right choice, but changing the Gallivespians was a mistake. The Matrix is a film thing. Innocence is an important idea in Western Culture. Jurisprudence is a legal thing. Brutalism is an architectural thing. Torii Gates are a Shinto thing.

And… wow Father Gomez has dreamy eyes… and- hot Father Gomez! Amber Fitzgerald-Woolfe performing a poem in sign language. There are lots of sign language . The Swiss Guard dress like the Gallivespians. In skydiving a greenlight does not mean- jump ! It just means the pilot’s job is finished and air traffic control has been informed there will be skydivers in the area. Jumping is at the discretion of the skydivers. Huntsman spiders are a thing.

Francis, Caitlin, Anya, and Alan talk about taking the lid off of canned god in chapters 30-32 of “The Amber Spyglass.” Mrs Coulter and Lord Asriel meet their fate, String Theory and Hermes make an appearance, and we argue if Marissa Coulter can be redeemed by one good deed. Tater tots are not archangels. Fragile Masculinity is NOT a thing. And furthermore men are NOT compensating! And are never vulnerable!! Weighing a soul after death as a form of judgement, is an ancient motif in many religions. 99% Invisible Beyond Biohazard: Why Danger Symbols Can’t Last Forever . Signifier and Signified are a semiotic thing. Tokyo Pet Shop of Horrors on Hallowed Ground StoryCast. String Theory is a math things. Gravitons are a hypothetical thing. M-Theory might be a thing. Hermes Trismegistus is an easy-to-pronounce thing. The Abyss is a lack of a thing (in the Bible). Soren Kierkegaard loved to (figuratively) leap. Facticity is an existential thing.

Francis, Caitlin, Anya, and Alan talk about escaping the land of the dead in chapters 26-29 of “The Amber Spyglass.” Lord Asriel reminds us of a certain billionaire. Roger rejoins the universe. We argue about if souls have mass. All of the important stuff. NFTs are a scam thing. Elon Musk’s Hyperloop is a dumb thing. Monism might be a thing. Trepanning is still a thing. The 21 grams Experiment is a famous example of trying to measure a dying human for a soul. Dualism might be a thing. Process Philosophy is a thing. Segways are no longer a thing. The Harrowing of Hell is a theological thing.

Francis, Caitlin, Anya, and Alan discuss chapters 23-25 of “The Amber Spyglass.” We gush about the perfection of chapter 23. Well… most of us do. What will you tell the harpies when you die? Maybe it will be a metaphor, but does that make it a lie? Will it be a buddy cop story with Lord Roke and Mrs Coulter? Because we want that. Modernity is a paradigm thing. “ The Origin of the Universe: Philip Pullman on Stephen Hawking ” by Philip Pullman appeared in the Autumn 2006 edition of Exeter College Magazine. Mbombo is a vomiting god thing. “ Braiding Sweetgrass ” by Robin Wall Kimerer is a nonfiction book about botany from different cultural perspectives. Monism might be a thing. Emergentism might be a thing. Necromancy is probably not a thing. Harpies are a mythological thing. The Good Place is an NBC comedy thing.

Francis, Caitlin, Anya, and Alan march into the world of the dead in chapters 19-22 of “The Amber Spyglass.” We rant about the Suburbs of the Dead, learn about Psychopomp Ferrymen, and argue about what Mary’s bliss is all about. Swindon is a (boring) place. Garth Nix wrote “The Keys to the Kingdom” series. Each of the seven books is named after a day of the week. Dark Matter is a thing that doesn’t interact with anything else. Psychopomps are a mythological thing. Bad Faith is a Sartre thing. The Ethics of Ambiguity is a Simone de Beauvoir thing. Absurdism is a Camus thing. Authenticity is a Kierkegaard thing.

Caitlin, Francis, Anya, and Alan read Chapters 15-18 of “The Amber Spyglass!” Lyra and Will move to The Suburbs of the Dead, and re-forge the Subtle Knife. What kind of rocks did Lyra use for forging? Is the knife an Abstract Machine? Are children fully human? We talk about all of it. The idea of a White Savior appears in lots of Western Art, but is also a harmful political force in society to this day. Gas-rich meteorites are a thing. MIG and TIG Welding are modern techniques for working with metal. Chemical Glove Boxes are a thing. Being or Becoming may or may not be a thing. “If a tree falls..” is a thought experiment thing. Actor Network Theory might be a thing. Swiss Army Knives are a thing that is merely ok. Anduril is a thing that was once Narsil.

Does quantum entanglement require violins? We find all the answers. Check out a binaural version of this episode ! The Swiss Guard are the personal security force of the Pope. Meganisoptera are an extinct thing. Quantum Entanglement is a thing. Plato’s Republic is a (novel?) thing? Hardcore History is a good podcast. The Tripartite Soul is maybe a thing?

Francis, Caitlin, Anya, and Alan read chapters six through ten of “The Amber Spyglass.” For the first time ever we all agree about our Least Favorite Thing- and so we argue about it. We talk about the science of Mulefa evolution, the real-world history of the Consistorial Court, and the morality of hunting children. Stephen Jay Gould proposed the thought experiment of “replaying the tape of life” in his book “Wonderful Life.” Catholic Sex Scandals involving children Senescence is a thing. The Paleocene was a thing. Oxygen Toxicity is a thing. Coevolution is a thing. Capsaicin is a thing. Biological Teleology is not a thing. Paradise Lost Book 4 , Paradise Lost Book 3 Indulgence is a Catholic thing. The Council of Clermont was a thing. Calvin’s Genevan Consistory was a thing.
