On this week's podcast:
Trust has declined at all levels at an increasing rate. Without trust we cannot operate at a successful level.
With the election almost upon us, deciding who we can trust is a challenge for many.
Oxford Associate Professor Thomas W. Simpson works on trust and issues at the intersection of technology and security.
He is in NZ to give the 2023 Sir John Graham Lecture for the Maxim Institute, and we interviewed him a few hours after his arrival on Monday.
We share an article George Freeman wrote on the 22nd Anniversary of 9/11, and we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
