Part 1 Microsoft Teams Is Tracking You. Should You Care?
The snow’s falling, the coffee’s hot, and so is the debate around digital privacy at work. Shane Hewitt hosts Jamie Ellerton and Lindsay Broadhead for a fast-moving, personal, and surprisingly funny conversation about what it means to be watched—even subtly—by your employer.

From the rise of remote surveillance through Microsoft Teams to the blunders of corporate email, this episode blends expertise with lived experience. Plus, a nod to hypnotists of the past, winter blues, and the time someone replied-all with a rant—only to get an answer from the company owner himself.

Part 2 Is the U.S. Setting the Stage for Another War?
An oil tanker’s been seized. Boats are being blown up. And Donald Trump says the U.S. is keeping the oil. On this episode of Smart Speakers, Jamie Ellerton and Lindsay Broadhead join Shane Hewitt to untangle the chaos off the coast of Venezuela and what it really signals.

With pointed analysis and personal perspective, the crew breaks down what’s different about this moment—and what dangerously echoes Iraq, the Middle East, and past regime-change strategies. From media manipulation to international law, this is a revealing look at how fast things are shifting, and why it all matters far beyond South America.
