How do young foxes see the world? Are they all snowflakes; lazy, over sensitive with an unrealistic sense of entitlement, or are they just like we were when we were their age? Representing Generation Z is Emily Woolwich-Steele in conversation with Ollie (a Generation X Fox) and Jeremy (a very old ‘Baby Boomer’ Fox) for a spirited intergenerational debate. Topics include: School in the noughties Home ownership (or lack of it) Life as a vLogger on YouTube The Me too movement Job hunting and attitudes to work Remote working during covid-19 About our guest Emily is a seasoned vlogger, hipster and is definitely woke. As far as we can work out she’s neither pescatarian nor pan-sexual, but is in favour of no platforming. So if you want to know what life is like for Generation Z, you don’t need to reach for a dictionary, just listen into our conversation about life through the eyes of a Gen Z’er.

Cautious optimist Robert Anderson features in this conversation covering Transhumanism, Artificial Intelligence, autonomous cars and much more. Technology is changing every aspect of our existence but as Robert argues, so it has since human time began and what is truly important is that we get involved in actively considering the benefits and the drawbacks of each step change - rather than blindly accepting whatever is on offer. About our guest Robert is a lifelong Technologist, with over 20 years of experience designing, developing and maintaining applications. Robert is currently an Enterprise Application Architect with a large Insurer as well as being a Trainer and Life Coach. But what really drew us to Robert is his deep thinking into the role of technology in our lives - for better and for worse. Ultimately a cautious optimist, we think you’ll enjoy his insights.

With the pressure on the NHS and funding for schools, shouldn’t we be looking after our own before spending money on Aid to Africa? What can our socially and economically deprived Regions learn from our experiences of Aid to Africa? African culture still respects the wisdom of the Elders. With 75% of the population under the age of 30 what’s happening to the traditional African respect and role for the wisdom of the Elders? Does the African tradition of 'Ubunto' potentially provide us with a 21 Century inclusive model for managing our economy? For a very different perspective on Africa and the role of Development Aid have a listen to this fascinating conversation.

Join us in a conversation with Peter Bryant, one of the most experienced moderators of Citizens’ juries in the UK. About our guest Peter Bryant is an experienced facilitator of Citizens’ juries, groups of people who are brought together to learn about an issue, debate it in detail and agree on certain outcomes.
