GAYEST EPISODE EVER
Back in the day, a major sitcom doing a gay episode was a big deal. A proper gay episode would get headlines, but it would get the attention of two young guys who were still figuring things out — sexuality-wise and culture-wise. Gayest Episode Ever has screenwriter Glen Lakin and stay-at-home journalist Drew Mackie going through the great and not-so-great gay episodes of sitcoms past.
THE LEADERSHIP LAB
The Leadership Lab podcast is the antidote to the idea of leaders being heroes or zeros. It is designed to explore the complexities of leadership and what it means to be both effective and ethical, decent and dynamic. In an increasingly polarised world, leadership is often framed as a trade-off: a leader can be effective or ethical, but rarely both. The Leadership Lab questions that assumption. Each episode features a conversation with a leader who has reached the pinnacle of higher education, government, culture, or the corporate world. Through their leadership journeys, guests share the lessons, struggles, and successes that shaped them. For anyone interested in what it takes to think wisely and lead well, The Leadership Lab offers insight, reflection, and inspiration.
