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.

Главная серий•Feed

Laser Time is a show featuring folks in the video games industry, although not necessarily about video games. It’s a hyper-silly, multimedia-infused look at film, TV, comics, music, pop culture, and nostalgia from the perspective of people who game for a living. Obviously, their opinions are their own and do not reflect that of their employers.

The Summer of 1982 - Laser Time #436 2:14:41

2:14:41

THE GREATEST YEAR FOR MOVIES EVER. 40 years ago, the greatest year in movie releases went down. Gods were toppled, genres were forged, franchise filmmaking became a thing. For better or for worse, 1982 changed your cinematic world...

With another year of indoor doldrums, at least we had the warm glow of great television to keep us moderately sane. From 90s plane crashes, sloppy steaks, and squid games, these are our very favorite TV shows of the year!

With Netflix's Cowboy Bebop out in the wild, we're rounding up the handful of previous anime adaptations to see how they stack up. (The WESTERN adaptations. If we tried to talk about live-action anime films made in Japan we'd be here forever.) Spoiler: The results are not great...

Introducing Operator - A New Miniseries from Wondery and Topic Studios 6:01

3 years назад6:01

6:01

SPONSORED: During the 1-900 number craze of the Nineties, one company provided the vast majority of phone sex. American Telnet was an empire founded by the man who called himself “The Telephone Pimp.” He ran the company “like General Motors” and got filthy rich doing it. But for the (mostly) women who answered the calls and delivered fantasies 24-7, it was a different story. The powerful stigma against sex work was always lurking just beneath the surface, until it threatened to tear apart the whole company. Hosted by Tina Horn (Why Are People Into That?), OPERATOR is an eight-part series about big ambitions, Shakespearean-level corporate backstabbing, men and women at the cutting edge of a technological revolution...and on the front lines of a sexual one. Listen to Operator now! http://wondery.fm/OP_Laser_Time…

Laser Time - RIP Norm Macdonald 1:43:42

Norm Macdonald 1950-1961. We lost one of our most gifted, inimitable comedians recently, and it’s difficult to deal with. But before Norm departed our mortal coil, he left us this wonderful audio journey through his whole dang career. Yes, this is a rerun, but you know you’re a Legend when you reach Legendary Status while you’re still alive. Special thanks to the Talking Simpsons guys for elevating the preemptive tribute!…

Whatever Happened to Erotic Thrillers? - Laser Time #425 2:37:04

We love ourselves some long lost subgenres, and film subgenres don't get much deader than the Erotic Thriller. As premium cable mainstays of the 80s and 90s, many of us grew up with sneaky late night HBO screenings as our highest form of titillation. But by the internet age, the American Erotic Thriller was all but extinct, and both porn and puritans are responsible for its demise. Even better, we're joined by Honey Leavitt, of The Honey Leavitt Show, as well as a special appearance by Dan Amrich!…
