And also what makes a great workplace, how to turn things round when we're not enjoying our work and, in the end, how we can all make our work better. https://ifhurtnotwork.podbean.com/

Monday Sep 13, 2021
Here's a clip of a new podcast I'm launching with my colleague Emily called "If It's Hurting, It's not Working", all about work - why we work, how we work, and what makes a great job. And also what makes a great workplace, how to turn things round when we're not enjoying our work and, in the end, how we can all make our work better.
In this episode we introduce ourselves, Emily reveals her enthusiasm for Kylie Minogue, we talk about how success is often a mixture of determination and luck, Richard describes "fishing" in a nuclear reactor pressure vessel and we discover that Emily's primary school teacher wasn't very nice to her.

Richard's "poem" is a little grandiose, so Giles and Paul help him to add a touch of realism. Then it's time to discuss werewolf tales with Seventh Doctor story The Greatest Show in the Galaxy and 10th Doctor adventure Tooth and Claw.

Gav's still trying to come to terms with his huge rant over The Gunfighters last episode. So we head for the pastoral calm of English public schools in Fifth Doctor story Mawdryn Undead and 10th Doctor adventure Human Nature / The Family of Blood.
