I am still enjoying the Book Overflow podcast, this time with John Ousterhout.
The podcast about the UK environmental agency is also great, and depressing.
Leadership

The Surprising Long Term Impact of Layoffs on Company Performance & Employee Experience. [Podcast] - that is understandable, at times you can't really avoid it, though.
A New Era of Medium Engineering - I quite like the messaging around this, and also the realisation that there is a shift in the company.
TBM 305: Stop the (Goal) Cascade Madness - I really like the idea and structure of them, but they never work in the real world.
Humans >> Data - "If you want to lead geeks effectively, at whatever scale, you need to be a person & interact with them as people. "
No "We" in IC - fascinating experiment. I prefer team ratings (and bonuses, perks, budgets, …) over individual ratings. As with everything with people, it can go horribly wrong.
Engineering
John Ousterhout Reflects on "A Philosophy of Software Design" [Podcast] - at least he knows that some of his ideas are controversial.

Urbanism

Environment

How we made our hardware packaging 100% plastic-free - yes, it is true, there are still companies not doing this.
Dirty waters: how the Environment Agency lost its way [Podcast] - that is a remarkable story of mismanagement and industry interference.
Staat fördert CO₂-Ausstoß mit 35,8 Milliarden Euro pro Jahr [German] - Germany subsidises polluting sectors with 35.8 billion Euro a year.
Random Hovercraft
The Last Surviving Giant Passenger Hovercraft [YouTube] - Christof's Regret #23: I never went on one of these when they were around, and I could even have been useful (Unlike a Concorde flight).
ytch.xyz - watch YouTube like telly.
Why Spain wants tourists to go home [Podcast] - mostly about house prices, but also about keeping your neighbourhood.
Professor Patricia Wiltshire, forensic scientist [Podcast] - she sounds like a brilliant nerd.

India's schoolgirls are leading a silent cycling revolution - until they grow out of it.
Wealth tax on super-rich could raise £1.5tn globally, campaigners say - eat the rich? Also: "some exemptions in the Spanish tax – including [...] some high-value assets such as boats and aircraft."
