The Classic Breakfast 2CA - Are Kylie and Rick Astley one and the same?

This morning on 2CA's Classic Breakfast with Holmsey and Jen, Jen revisited the "old days" of radio when sometimes you played a 45" at 33" with humorous results.  One example is how much Kylie Minogue sounds like Rick Astley when slowed down. Holmsey asked whether then Rick sped up sounded like Kylie? The results are astonishing and might just start some rumours! Both were part of the Stock, Aitken and Waterman stable of artists. Then, for no GOOD reason, Jen and Holmsey turn their attent...

Dr Kim Vella and Anca Costin - How can managerial styles evolve post lockdown?

Working from home is not new. Nor is the technology that allows it to happen effectively and at scale. Global organisations have had remote workforces and teams that work across multiple time zones for decades. The seismic shift that occurred recently across public, private and non-government sectors is not an IT transformation. It has not been a complete rethinking of how IT can serve new markets and ways of producing and delivering products and services. It has, instead, been a way to ...

Fever Detecting Cameras - Hot Tech or Hot Air?

CEO of Calamity Daniel Lewkovitz speaks with John Honovich from IPVM Fever detecting cameras are going to be a gold rush and possibly the biggest snake oil by the electronic security industry since 'analytics' 20 years ago that was utter garbage at the time.

Well that escalated quickly..... Jen Seyderhelm, Brent Ford, Eddie Williams and Nathan Letts do talk about NRL, AFL and cricket but, somehow, Brent decides that while he sits on the fence on many things, one thing he is certain of is that the ACT is an island, Jen puts Lettsy on the spot about the cricket players more shiny balls, everyone picks their greatest NRL player of all time and next week it looks like we'll revolutionise sports by mixing everything up a bit (plus discovering Ed's N...
