From the Matilda’s Effect to the AFL commitment to close the gender pay gap, cross-code support for female athletes is at an all-time high. With record attendance, huge broadcast viewership and glass ceilings shattering, elite players are finally being taken seriously. None of this happened overnight. How far off is something that looks like parity?

Join Kirby Bentley, Bec Goddard, Ann Odong, Lydia Williams and Tracey Holmes from on and off the pitch to hear first-hand experiences of the peaks and pitfalls that have come with the growing emphasis on women’s sport, and learn about the role intersectionality needs to play.

This event was recorded live at Sydney Opera House on 9 March 2025.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 170

It is long past time we take a look at the Communist Manifesto (instead of just sending it to dubious Woke Right outlets and getting them to publish it: https://newdiscourses.com/2024/12/a-communist-manifesto-for-christian-nationalists-testing-the-woke-right/). Obviously, this infamous document (pdf: https://www.marxists.org/admin/books/manifesto/Manifesto.pdf) is not the beginning point of Communism, but is the beginning point of organized Communism, particularly of the Marxist type, which we have recently (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/06/communism-is-not-atheist) and thoroughly discussed. In this long-overdue episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes you through the main body of the Manifesto of the Communist Party: preface, chapter one, and chapter two. In a subsequent episode (Volume Two in this mini-series) he will cover a later addition called "The Principles of Communism." There's a lot here, and you won't want to miss it.

Civil rights protections were meant to expand justice, not retract it. But today, we see the disturbing rise of policies and narratives that weaponize civil rights language to suppress equity, restrict access, and entrench privilege.

This audio version of our latest Sharon Washington Consulting article explores:

How anti-DEI laws manipulate civil rights rhetoric

The impact on housing, healthcare, education, and employment

The disproportionate harm on BIPOC, LGBTQ+, rural, and immigrant communities

Why King, Marshall, and Chisholm’s visions remain essential guides for justice today

The Hypocrisy of Anti-DEI Laws:When Civil Rights Language Is Used to Discriminate

I cannot say exactly how it happened, sitting all alone in my room.
The words materialized right before my very eyes. Bing, Bang, Boom.
I knew right away when I said them, these words had healing properties.
If I could spread the word, and everybody heard,
We could bring an end to needless suffering. So come on, everybody, let’s sing.

Bing, Bang, Boom. Bing, Bang, Boom.
Just as sure as the sun will be rising tomorrow, we can end the world of pain & sorrow.
So sing along with me, sing in harmony. Bing, Bang, Boom. Bing, Bang, Boom.

Right away I knew these words had power, and I knew just what I had to do.
If I could somehow find the meaning of these words of mine; Bing, Bang, Boom.
And so, I went to work, scouring journals, researching ancient manuscripts & texts.
Without getting too specific, it was there in hieroglyphics.
I had found the meaning of the first word, Bing. So come on, everybody, let’s sing.

Bing, Bang, Boom. Bing, Bang, Boom.
Just as sure as the sun will be rising tomorrow, we can end the world of pain & sorrow.
So sing along with me, sing in harmony. Bing, Bang, Boom. Bing, Bang, Boom.

Bing, it seems, means nothing more than money, not a lot, enough to meet your needs.
You can turn the page if you make a living wage, enough to stay engaged with the world around you.
Bang apparently just means freedom. That’s one thing that everybody needs
When I say everybody, that’s exactly what I mean. Not just some, but everybody.

Boom just means exactly what it sounds like. I think they call that onomatopoeia.
It’s like that moment when you hear, and understand. Bing, Bang, Booyah!
And so the key to peace and understanding is money in your pocket, living free.
So, if you think you can help the world to understand,
I invite you to sing along with me. Come on, everybody, let’s sing.

Bing, Bang, Boom. Bing, Bang, Boom.
Just as sure as the sun will be rising tomorrow, we can end the world of pain & sorrow.
So sing along with me, sing in harmony. Bing, Bang, Boom. Bing, Bang, Boom.

Bing, Bang, Boom

This is the sixth episode of Overcoming Polarisation: Paths to Common Ground, a podcast series from Debating Europe, Friends of Europe’s citizen engagement unit. In this episode, we’re unravelling equity’s many facets, analysing this delicate moment in time and looking for a stronger tomorrow. 

Europe is feeling fractured. Whether it’s politics, climate, tech, or trust in institutions, more and more people are feeling left out, unheard, and uncertain about the future. But what if we could flip the script? What if instead of fuelling division, we looked for common ground? 

In this series, we’re diving into the real issues behind polarisation. Economic inequality, climate anxiety, digital disruption, and bringing together voices from across the spectrum. From policymakers, activists, business leaders, and most importantly, citizens’ voices via our latest study “Voices for Choices”. 

In today’s show, host Sabina Șancu spoke with Nadia Calviño, president of the European Investment Bank, about many of the things that worry young people: future opportunities, housing, the environmental crisis, AI. 

In the second part of the episode, coordinator of the Jacques Delors think tank institutes Pascal Lamy reflects on the balance between public and private sectors and the need to adapt democracy to modern times.

𝗜𝘁’𝘀 #𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 again – and this one 𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘩💥

Each episode in this series links someone or something from Luxembourg’s past to a modern-day equivalent – this time, we’re connecting 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗴𝘂𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘀-𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁🇱🇺, one of Luxembourg’s earliest feminist voices and 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘶𝘹𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 1918, with 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘇𝗮🇧🇷🇱🇺, a 𝘋𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺 & 𝘐𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳 reshaping how workplaces understand inclusion, privilege, and belonging – all from Luxembourg’s modern frontline.

Originally from Brazil, Patricia shares what it’s like to move through three cultures – Brazil 🇧🇷, Germany 🇩🇪, and Luxembourg 🇱🇺 – and the moment she realized that inclusion wasn’t just a buzzword, but a survival mechanism.

𝗪𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼:
🧠 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: what it takes to turn frustration with bias into a long-term, science-backed D&I strategy.
🪞 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲, 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 & 𝘁𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗺: why "diversity" isn’t enough, and how companies get it wrong (and sometimes right).
👥 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴: from saying “good morning” to mentoring with intention – what inclusion looks like in practice.
🗣️ 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗰: how to actually amplify underrepresented voices without co-opting their space.

This isn’t just an interview – it’s a masterclass in conscious leadership, grounded in science, humility, and lived experience.

While white women may speak of breaking through the “glass ceiling,” for many Black women, it’s more like a “concrete ceiling.” Black women experience unique and formidable barriers in the workforce that are not only difficult to break, but also obscure their view of career advancement opportunities.

In this episode we bring you a conversation with Ina Jurga, International Coordinator for Menstrual Hygiene Day and Technical Lead for Menstrual Health and Hygiene at WASH United. Ina joined hosts Leah Roberts and Dr. Dani Barrington to share her journey from working as a civil engineer to becoming a global advocate for menstrual health, shaped by her experiences in countries such as India, Uganda, and Burundi.
Ina talked us through the creation of Menstrual Hygiene Day in 2014 and the importance of raising global awareness about menstruation. We discussed systemic approaches to menstrual health, including education, access to products, disposal solutions, and supportive policies.
We also chatted about innovations such as reusable pads, menstrual cups, and period swimwear, and how conversations around menstruation are evolving in high-income countries.
