Whistleblowers: A very special kind of bs detector

Wednesday, December 28, 2022 • Duration 01:16:30

We all like to think that if we saw wrongdoing, we’d do the right thing - that when confronted with a problem that goes against our ethics or morals, we’d speak up or take action. But what if calling bullshit meant damaging or ending your career, your family relationships, or even compromising your personal safety?

McKinsey: Something to hide?

Wednesday, December 21, 2022 • Duration 01:14:31

The notoriously tight-lipped global consulting firm McKinsey claims to be values-driven and purpose-led. But do their deeds back up their words? Or does their value of “serving the client first” mean every other value comes second? Can we really trust any company to be purpose-led when they operate in almost total secrecy?

The Science of Bullsh!t Detection

Wednesday, October 12, 2022 • Duration 36:55

Here on the show, we say bullsh!t is the gap between word and deed - it’s what the BS scale is all about- but not everyone defines BS exactly the same way.

So we thought...let's kick off season two by diving into BS itself. What is it? Where does it come from? At what point does it become dangerous? And how can we all keep our BS detectors in fighting shape?

Show Notes:

Juul Update: A Hazy Future?

Wednesday, October 5, 2022 • Duration 21:12

The FDA's recent sequence of decisions has Juul fighting to keep its pod charged. Some clap. Others boo. Most are left scratching their heads. Will this help teens quit vaping or just open up the market for more competitors?

As a Silicon Valley startup, Juul’s focus on hyper-growth targeted toward young people put them in hot water. But, the reason the FDA gave for taking their product off the market may surprise you. And now Juul is ready to defend their purpose to transition adult smokers away from combustible cigarettes and fight back in court.

Join us for a Season 2 update episode with Lauren Etter, a reporter at Bloomberg News & Author of “The Devil’s Playbook: Big Tobacco, JUUL, and the Addiction of a New Generation”.

Calling Bullsh!t: Tarnished Trust?

Wednesday, April 20, 2022 • Duration 49:47

In our season finale, we revisit the trust crisis, reflect on what we’ve learned so far, and respond to some great questions and suggestions submitted by our listeners.

We end where it all began: with an examination of the trust crisis and what we’ve learned about it in Season 1. Then we get BS called on us by a listener who makes some great points – which leads to a conversation with ad exec-turned-activist, Matt Rivitz. We discuss the role of advertising and marketing companies in the Bullshit-o-sphere and the possibilities for making tangible change.

Guests:

Matt Rivtiz - Chief Purpose Officer, Nobl Media & Founder, Sleeping Giants

BP: Breaking Promises?

Wednesday, April 13, 2022 • Duration 01:12:43

Twenty years ago, BP attempted an ambitious rebrand claiming that henceforth the initials BP would stand for Beyond Petroleum (formally British Petroleum). Two years ago, and STILL one of the world’s largest oil and gas producers, they announced their new climate-friendly purpose: To reimagine energy for people and our planet. So what are the actions CEO Bernard Looney and his leadership team would have to take to plug this gusher and actually win back our trust?

To get to the bottom of this barrel, we talk with three experts on energy, climate, and marketing: Tyson Slocum, Energy Program Director at national consumer advocacy group Public Citizen, Duncan McLaren, Climate Policy Expert, and Jamie Henn, co-founder of 350.org and Director of Fossil Free Media.

Guests:

Tyson Slocum - Energy Program Director, Public Citizen

Duncan McLaren - Climate Policy Expert

Airbnb: A House of Cards?

Wednesday, April 6, 2022 • Duration 01:01:38
