Episode 36 - Wind wars, Ecocide and Electrostates 22:16

18h ago22:16

22:16

This week we go from Scotland to Israel via China and end up with the Mayor of Hull. Breaking the link makes the national press, the ecocide bill heads to parliament Ev sales are up and Tesla sales are down. There’s questions about why schools have to give kids meat 3 times a week and the wind wars begin. We’ve got a right wing nut with a twist and…

Episode 35 - Fish bashing trade deals and AI as the answer? 26:25

8d ago26:25

26:25

Dale goes to Europe by rail - pens an op ed on the Eurostar for the Telegraph - and the world changes radically. Britain lands a trade deal with Europe, Farage says he’ll end it - Keminoch already said that - but would an AI version be a better leader - we think it might. The RSPCA endorse fish brutality and then don’t, as another exposé empties su…

Episode 34 - Trade Trumps Law and doublethink rules 23:43

15d ago23:43

23:43

Once again we bring news of the good deeds of the Donald. Tony Blair nearly wins right-wing nut of the week for his crazy pro fossil intervention on behalf of his petro state clients, but he’s pipped by the Tories' energy man who probably believes the Earth is flat and definitely won’t get to do that which he says he will do. We talk Dale writing f…

Episode 33 - Secretly one of us 23:32

22d ago23:32

23:32

This week we look at Trump’s good deeds, from Oz to Canada to China and we invite Richard Tice to come out of the closet. We open with a libel update, a heat pump story and something called Nexit. And then there’s AI and Crypto - both energy guzzlers, but what does Crypto actually do. Great listener questions and they’re at it again on X rated corn…

Episode 32 - The answer is Net Zero 21:58

29d ago21:58

21:58

In this week's show, an irrational ex Labour PM joins Farage - in nonsense on net zero. The Telegraph smeared Dale again, then apologised and then donated to Gaza - all in less than a week. In the saga the score stands at 8-0. Dale finds an unlikely ally in Richard Tice, but only half so and Zero carbon homes are back on the agenda, starting with a…

Beware of the 3 word slogan in coaching research 36:25

1M ago36:25

36:25

In this ‘Dog Walk Diary’ episode, I dive deep into how narratives and slogans shape coaching approaches and talent development, particularly examining how research concepts like the "10,000-hour rule" and "talent needs trauma" get oversimplified and sometimes misapplied in practice. I explore the tension between evidence-informed practice and harmf…

The need for more Nuclear cops, the MAGA diet that will surely work, more pointless tariffs and a madly big cheque - on one side as we take a dive into something you might call Nexit. With the usual gaggle of listeners chipping in, not least about the last ice age.By Dale Vince

Times Radio out does the Telegraph for a Daily Dale this week as we mix British Steel - energy and a nutty new right wing narrative - about Ed Milliband - with the new line from Nige and Semi, while our contributors in X rated corner make clear just how dangerous that is. We’ve got a bit of a food focus too as our right wing nut award goes to a Big…

1:36:22

I had a fascinating conversation with Bren Veziroglu about ecological dynamics and how it's transforming coaching and movement practice. Bren's journey from a self-described "skinny, unathletic" teen to becoming an influential voice in movement education reveals powerful insights about skill development and learning. Three key takeaways from our co…

This week Dale faces fact-free allegations from the party of corruption. And we go where economists fear to tread - running the numbers on new runways and oil, and we look at the mini nukes that defy the laws of economic gravity. Some bunch of eco loons reckon we can add £57bn to our GDP with green stuff... and avoid three more Brexits with nature …

Drawing on Toyota's management principles, I explore why so many of us in workforce development struggle …
