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.

If you worked for the Bank of England incinerating battered and bruised banknotes that were being taken out of circulation, would you be tempted to take one? Or ten?! What about ten thousand? This is exactly what a crack team of employees did at the Bank of England's incinerator plant at Debden in Loughton, Essex between 1988 and 1992. Demonstrating that there is no 'I' in 'team', this gang of criminals worked together to steal hundreds of thousands of pounds under the noses of supervisors and auditors... Our second case takes us to a warehouse just outside of Heathrow Airport, where a cache of rare books are being stored before being transported to California. After breaking in, a gang of expert criminals go on to spend five hours and fifteen minutes going through them one by one until they find what they are looking for... Join us as we delve into the world of audacious heists...

Debbie Leitch: Left For Dead 1:18:03

This week we head to the seaside resort of Blackpool. Home to Blackpool Pleasure Beach and the iconic Blackpool Tower, the town attracts millions of visitors every year. And it's not just tourists that flock to this quintessentially British holiday destination. Every year, thousands of people move to Blackpool from other parts of the UK. In 2016, 21-year-old Debbie Leitch and her mother, Elaine Clarke, moved there from Leeds, with Elaine's three other children. The move should have signalled the beginning of an exciting new chapter in their lives, but for Debbie, who had Down Syndrome, it heralded the beginning of the end when her life spiralled into a downward descent into hell where neglect, abuse and isolation reigned supreme. This is an infuriating story which contains descriptions of neglect and abuse that some listeners may find distressing. Listener discretion is advised. We have made a donation to the Downs Syndrome Association ( Home - Downs Syndrome Association ) in honour of Debbie Leitch - if you are able to and would like to donate too, please hit the link below: Make a donation to the Down's Syndrome Association If you would like to access exclusive bonus content and support us on Patreon , you can find us here: w ww.patreon.com/seeingredpodcast If you would like to GIFT a Patreon membership to a special someone , head to www.patreon.com/seeingredpodcast/gift If you would like to buy us a coffee (or wine!), hit the link below: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/seeingredtw Get your merch here: www.seeingredpodcast.co.uk Theme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears - check her work out at www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag Learn more about your ad choices.

A Strange Coincidence 56:08

56:08

This week we take a look at the concept of coincidences in true crime... Our first case takes us to the Aviemore Station Hotel in the Scottish Highlands. When fire ripped through the hotel in 1950, it ended in tragedy. The community was rocked to its core. And when history repeated itself forty five years later, people were left asking whether this was merely a coincidence, or whether something more sinister was at play... Our second case takes us to the bustling Birmingham suburb of Erdington. In 1974 a 20-year-old nurse went missing in eerily similar circumstances to a previous missing person's case more than a hundred years hence... Could it be that the two cases were related?

We left part one in February 2019, just after Shamima Begum had been discovered by a British journalist in a refugee camp in Syria. News of the discovery of one of the 'Isis 4' shocked the nation and spread like wildfire. And soon, journalists were queuing up to interview her. What unfolded over the following months and years divided public opinion and reached the upper echelons of British government, as they strived to solve the question on everybody's lips: 'How do you solve a problem lime Shamima Begum?'.

This week we head to Bath, a picturesque city in the south west of England. Synonymous with its Roman-built baths, the eponymous city is a tourist hot-spot and is regularly voted one of the most desirable places to live in the country. But in the 1990's, it was better known as the city where women dare not walk the streets alone at night. For ten long years, a predator lurked the city's affluent streets, carrying out multiple sex attacks and rapes on lone women. He most likely lived amongst the people he attacked, hiding in plain sight. Perhaps he still does...
