Reading Between the Lines: Language and Power

Tracey Camilleri Talks to Ben Morgan This episode was recorded just after the US election but has clear resonance for now as the inauguration of Joe Biden takes place. Tracey talks to poet, academic, essayist and writer Ben Morgan who looks under the bonnet at how language really works and why, when used well, it is so effective. How was the outburst of joy around the vaccine and the US election expressed? What is powerful about the way Joe Biden use language? What can we learn from the first lines of Hamlet? Why do certain metaphors work? What's the secret of getting the tone right? Why is Greta Thunberg such a skilful user of rhetoric? Join us for this enjoyable pick through the bones and muscles of the way we speak now. Dr Ben Morgan is a writer, critic and tutor based in Oxford. He has published poetry widely, including a long sequence, 'Medea in Corinth' (Poetry Salzburg, 2018), which retells the Greek myth in modern forms. He is completing a book on Shakespeare and the idea of political justice for Princeton University Press. He also writes essays and reviews for a range of publications, as well as teaching Shakespeare studies and English to undergraduates at Oxford and beyond, with a particular focus on visiting students.

007 Navigating organisational politics

Politics exist due to the insatiable desire of humans for three things viz Power, status, and wealth. Individuals acting alone or in consort have for millennia been conniving to secure a monopoly on these three assets. Understanding how to identify politics in action, how to position yourself and how to behave are key elements of career success. Future Advisory · Connect with Herman on LinkedIn · Twitter

The Grounded Safari: When Walking through Singita Kruger Changes Everything

In this heartwarming episode, former Head Guide, Solomon Ndlovu, talks to Jonathan Lachowitz, a devoted regular guest who keeps returning to the wild magic of Singita Kruger Park (South Africa) to walk all day without a schedule. On his visits Jonathan walks with Solomon and Tracker, Sunday Ndhlovu. After 70 days walking together, the trio has an easy friendship built on trust, shared memories, and inside jokes. Jonathan shares what pulls him back time after time – from the therapeutic power of switching off from his busy life, to the perspective only walking safaris provide. It highlights the special bond that's formed while they explore the region, complete with portable espresso machine and a three-legged stool. There's no boredom, as the bush changes with every season, every day and hour. It takes an immense amount of trust between Jonathan, Sunday, and Solomon – the guide and tracker who navigate the bush with vast tracking experience, using their senses (hearing the wind, noticing when a giraffe stops chewing, and more!) The adventures have taught each man valuable life lessons. Walking in the Lebombo concession has become something of a soul journey that has helped Jonathan understand his place in the grand scheme of things. Join us as two friends chat about the magic of observing nature on foot, conservation, and finding precious moments of stillness in the African wilderness. The perfect reminder of how small we are, nature's wisdom, and why places like Singita matter for generations to come. Nature talks to you. Just listen.

Conscious Travel - A Ripple Effect That Continues After Your Visit to Rwanda

Every great story is made up of many smaller ones. Ross Couper (Singita’s Resident Content Creator) chats to Martin Tuyisenge (Singita’s Community Liaison Manager) about the ripple effect of every guest’s stay on local livelihoods and conservation at Singita Kwitonda and Kataza House. Rwanda is truly a bucket list destination, for gorillas, golden monkeys, the food, and culture. But what really captures your heart is the spirit of its people. This is where Martin’s work comes in - as the Community Liaison Manager, he leads projects across six nearby villages, benefiting nearly 5,500 people. 18 years on - from schoolteacher to park ranger – he’s found his passion. Ross and Martin discuss some of the long-lasting community projects, made possible by Singita guests. Some highlights: - Rainwater tanks for 84 households and three schools - Upgrading volleyball and basketball pitches for young people - Supporting a chicken farming cooperative – contributing 800 chicks, a coup and training - Training a dance troupe (35 people) to celebrate traditional song and dance, while creating new income - Singita Community Culinary School – empowering students through culinary training. 23 students employed at Singita - Annual donation of a fully furnished house and two cows to a local family - Reforestation efforts – transforming ex-farmland to a thriving buffer zone, seeing wildlife returning - Providing access to health insurance for 2,571 people - Since 2005, every gorilla trek in Rwanda contributes 10% to communities, as well as a new tourism levy introduced in 2025. This is a ripple that continues outwards long after a Singita guest leaves Rwanda. Tune in to explore how ecotourism has the power to change lives — far beyond one gorilla trek. Singita website
