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.

*NO LONGER PRODUCING NEW EPISODES*

Already being described as "the worst way to spend a long commute", the De Trout Spinners is a nostalgic dive into the hilarious, chaotic and oddly sweet world of the 2001-2005 Xfm Ricky Gervais Show.

Join hosts Miles and Gary as they take a retrospective look through the Xfm RSK archive, breaking down each episode chronologically each week, in wistful, loving and (they hope - wrongly) humorous episodes.

His Little Legs | Educating Gary 31:18

Hey Spinners, we hope you're having a fab Summer and staying cool in this blazing heat (presumably if you're a fat German nudist you'll be lovin' it). We wanted to share our sincere apologies for the lack of content recently. We're both experiencing a bit of a tricky time at the moment with ongoing personal / health related issues which is conflicting with the regularity of our recordings. But rest assured, Gary is at home with his Mam an' Dad with a cold ashtray, and I'm perusing the chicken fillets in the frozen aisle, so it's only a matter of time until we're back swinging on our tyres with lots of new twaddle. To tide you over until then, we're sharing an episode from our Patreon archive and sister podcast 'His Little Legs'. This discussion was originally recorded back in February 2021 where Gary took a GCSE History revision quiz and we shared more stories of shame.

Bonus Episode | Hello Ladies 1:01:27

I want to thank the ladies, cause you know, it's nothin' without the ladies. We're obsessed with listener demographics, but noticed that even though the Xfm shows are growing in popularity everyday there is still a huge gender disparity between male and female listeners. Why there are so few female listeners? To shed some light on this, we invited a panel of our listeners onto the podcast for a bonus extended edition where we had an open, honest discussion about gender in comedy. A big thanks to our three contributors; Daisy, Stacey and Ellie, who were excellent company and offered some refreshing, unique insights. We're always looking for new distinct perspectives, approaches and ideas for podcast episodes so please do get in touch if you have one.

Since You Been Gone by Rainbow, since we've been gone... This week we discuss Series 4 | Episode 1 | 28 May 2005. The show returns, Ricky and Stephen are standing in for Adam and Joe. They comment about how nothing has changed, except that the listenership has gone down possibly because each year a few old XFM listeners die, of smack addictions or gout. Ricky unveils some genuinely exciting prizes for Rockbusters, Karl talks about his testicles then gets a champagne cork shot at his head.

Karl is back from his visit from "Lanzagrotty" and decides it's made up of 36 volcanoes that should be filled in with cement. Karl finally reads "The Guvna" which is actually in order this time. The gang wonder how barometers work and comment on the rather nervous looking daughter on the cover of the calendar. Finally, they're also clueless on China.
