    Olympic Winners?
    Aug 1 2024
    Paris, after a damp start, is sprinting through the games - but at what cost? Closed bars and cafes behind security barriers, fewer visitors in the run-up to the Olympics, and a massive bill for all the building-work and administration. The money from the tickets and broadcast rights goes to the International Olympic Committee, so will the city benefit at all? Many venues are turning down the chance of staging big sports events like this because the costs - social as well as financial - outweigh the gains, and can land cities with huge debts. So what is the answer? Leave it to the money-no-object venues like Qatar and Saudi Arabia? Or spread a games over several countries? Or have one permanent venue, funded by all? Professor Simon Chadwick of SKEMA Business School in Lille tells Phil and Roger how hosting the Olympics needs an overhaul.

    Jul 25 2024
    The US presidential election has been upended by the replacement of one candidate, and the attempted assassination of the other. Can Karmala Harris unite the Democrats and compete effectively with Donald Trump? Has a near-death experience changed The Donald, or just made more of his supporters sure he is God’s chosen leader? And why did Joe Biden wait so long to acknowledge his obvious incapacity? Phil and Roger get the picture from Dr Thomas Gift , Associate Professor in Political Science at University College London, and Director of the Centre on US Politics

    Making Stuff
    Jul 18 2024
    As the new Labour government pushes to get the UK economy growing, is it time we became a big manufacturer once again? For decades the driver of the economy has been services, but is that too difficult to sustain? Should we go back to making stuff - this time microprocessors, software, AI programs? Ali Bigdeli, Professor of Industrial Service Innovation at Aston University tells Roger and Phil what the shape of the new economy could be. It's all to do with servitisation apparently.
