So Now What? With Waleed Aly podcast

33:58

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.

Covid-19 has impacted all aspects of all our lives and global politics is no exception. Like all nations, the two superpowers have had their 2020 shaped by the virus. For the US, the mishandling of the pandemic has cost hundreds of thousands of lives, while China is widely seen as the source. But as the first vaccines begin their rollout just what will the world stage look like once the virus passes? Will how countries handled Covid-19 have long term repercussions? And what will that mean for their economies? And where will countries like Australia fit into the new political landscape?

When Covid-19 hit almost a million Australians lost their jobs, millions more were forced to work from home, and at the height of the crisis it seemed even our most hardened industrial warriors were ready to find a middle-ground. Now with life after the virus beginning to emerge just what kind of work and workplaces will we find on the other side? Will we see better opportunities or worse for workers? Will there be more work, or will millions of Australians still struggle to get the hours they want? We're looking into the future of working Australia as we ask So Now What?

When Covid-19 sent the world into lockdown in March, global carbon emissions plummeted - an almost 10 per cent fall in the first half of the year. But as we start thinking of a world beyond the virus, can we expect things to bounce back to where they were, or worse, will emissions rise even higher as people and industries rush to make up for lost time? Or can we capitalise on the global upheaval for some good? With our climate future at a crossroads, we ask if it's possible to use one crisis to help overcome a much bigger one.

When Covid-19 took off, the arts and entertainment industries were the among the first to be hit, and the hardest. Across Australia and the world, theatres and cinemas were shuttered, concerts and festivals cancelled. But as the lights slowly start to flicker back on for show and gigs and we make our first tentative steps back to socially distant stands, just what will entertainment look like? Will we still want to be entertained like we did before and will those who have kept us entertained still do so in the same way?

Australia has always been a nation of immigrants with an incredible one in ten of us arriving in just the last decade. However, thanks to Covid-19 our migration rate has gone from near record levels to almost zero. Combined with a falling birth rate, for the first time in a century, Australia's population is set to fall. The economic and cultural fallout will be profound. In this episode we explore just what challenges we'll face and how we can overcome them once the pandemic has passed.

Even before Covid-19 the patterns of human interaction were changing. More of us were living alone than ever before with lives increasingly lived online contributing to record rates of loneliness. Then the pandemic and with it forced isolation and separation. The most basic of human experiences and contacts ripped from our lives. Handshakes became elbow bumps, workplaces reduced to zoom meetings, many of us forced to lock ourselves away at home far from friends and family. The changes to our lives and our communities have been comprehensive but as we start to open up, just how normal will our new normal be? From workplace to dating, from socialising with friends and family to interacting with strangers, we explore what our social world will look like beyond the pandemic. Featuring: Author and commentator Sarah Wilson, whose most recent book, This One Wild and Precious Life , tackles the disconnection of modern life. Psychologist Sabina Read, whose podcast Human Cogs explores all the things that bring us together and tear us apart. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

After a summer of devastating bushfires, the economy was already battered when the pandemic hit. Then, the combination of closed borders, closed businesses and social distancing made recession inevitable. More than one million Australians are out of work and the economy has been thrown into reverse. But even with Victoria’s second wave, Australia is navigating through the pandemic in better shape than most countries. So as we move from dealing with the health crisis to managing the economic one, how can Australia rebuild its shattered economy - especially as the virus rages unchecked across the globe? What can we learn from how Australia has recovered from past downturns and will we learn from past mistakes? With our economic path through the pandemic at a crossroads, we ask: So Now What?

At the start of 2020 Australian sport was in great shape and for the biggest games in town there was limitless passion and cash. For the AFL the records kept tumbling. Membership, crowd attendance, participation rates, all hitting new records and the clubs were coming off a billion dollar year. The NRL had also had a great year. Half a billion dollars in revenue and for the second year in a row, the league posted a surplus. And across the board there was the surge in women’s sport. The AFLW and NRLW taking off and the Women’s World Cup final saw 80,000 packed into the MCG. Then came the virus and suddenly some of favourite games and clubs were facing complete annihilation. Massive job losses, huge falls in broadcast revenue, empty stadiums - the future has become uncertain for this enormous part of Australian culture. As we look at what life beyond covid looks like for our most loved sports we ask, So Now What?

The Covid-19 pandemic has strained the cohesiveness of our society. People are becoming more and more divergent in their views, and more and more distrusting of opposing views. A lot of people feel more marginalised and categorised while some seek strongly to find someone to blame for this crisis. What will the effect of this be for society in the future? Joining Waleed to discuss this is Professor Michele Grossman, Research Chair in Diversity and Community Resilience at the Alfred Deakin Institute and Dr Rebecca Huntley, Principal at Vox Populi Research.
