St. James’s Place Podcast: Tomorrow Comes Today

Season 2, Episode 2: Moving beyond our assumptions


In this episode of Tomorrow Comes Today we ask the questions: How can the biases we hold within us affect the decisions we make and the work we produce? Ultimately, how do they shape our future?


Matt Potter, Rob Gardner and Vicki Foster explore these questions through three different lenses with our guests this week - the future of the world we live in with futurist Mark Stevenson, the future of aging with Professor of Economics Andrew Scott and the algorithms that shape our lives with Dr Safiya Umoja Noble.

Talk is cheap

St. James’s Place Podcast: Tomorrow Comes Today

Season 2, Episode 1: Talk is cheap


How do you get past the easy answers and arrive at meaningful action? To mark International Women’s Day, Matt Potter, joined by St. James’s Place’s Rob Gardner and Vicki Foster, talks to journalist and author Annabelle Williams about just that – exploring why women are poorer than men and what to do about it. He also catches up with the ex-head of finance and planning at one of the largest banks in Syria when the war broke out, Louai Al Roumani, about how to manage in a crisis. And he asks the former director of operations and intelligence for the British Secret Intelligence Service, Nigel Inkster, who will win the looming techno wars.
