In this week’s episode we’re talking about privilege and we’ve invited journalist and campaigner, Vicky Spratt to talk to us about what class has to do with our work.


Vicky Spratt reports on housing and society. Her Make Rent Fair campaign led to the introduction of the Tenants Fee Act, which has resulted in the ban on letting fees for tenants renting in the private sector. Her first book, Tenants, will be published next year. Her work centres on a central theme – how the mechanisms of class structure in this country inform our social policy and affect all of our lives, whether we realise it or not.


The three of us sit down and have a hard conversation about privilege and we get to grips with how difficult it is for those from diverse backgrounds to break into elite professions.

Is This Working? - Time: why do we feel like we never have enough of it?
play

07/22/19 • 47 min

Our first episode of Is This Working, the podcast that questions the impact of work on lives, is on time and how many of us feel like it’s our biggest enemy.


Tiffany shares how she found herself lying on her sofa one morning, speeding up YouTube videos on productivity hacks because she felt like she didn’t have enough time to get everything done.


We get philosophical, unpicking where the mindset that time is in scarcity comes from and how that impacts our feelings of productivity and achievement.


We also share our tips on how to manage our time better and how to think smarter about how we’re using it.


Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. It means a great deal to us and helps other potential listeners to find the show. Thank you.
