What do you do to get under the layer to really get down to those lower levels? Is it just follow-up questions, mindset, worldview, and how that works for you? How'd you get this job anyway? What are things like around here? What did your boss do before they were your boss? Wow did you end up with this job? Why are questions such a big part of This is Strategy? If you had to charge ten times as much as you charge now, what would you do differently? If it had to be free, what would you do differently? Who's it for, and what's it for? What is the change we seek to make? How did you choose the questions for The Strategy Deck? How big is our circle of us? How many people do I care about? Is the change we're making contagious? Are there other ways to gamify the use of questions? Any other thoughts on how questions might be gamified? How do we play games with other people where we're aware of what it would be for them to win and for us to win? What is it that you're challenged by? What is it that you want to share? What is it that you're afraid of? If there isn't a change, then why are we wasting our time? Can you define tension? What kind of haircut do you want? How long has it been since your last haircut? How might one think about intentionally creating that question? What factors should someone think about as they use questions to create tension? How was school today? What is the kind of interaction I'm hoping for over time? How do I ask a different sort of question that over time will be answered with how was school today? Were there any easy questions on your math homework? Did anything good happen at school today? What tension am I here to create? What wrong questions continue to be asked? What temperature is it outside? When the person you could have been meets the person you are becoming, is it going to be a cause for celebration or heartbreak? What are the questions we're going to ask each other? What was life like at the dinner table when you were growing up? What are we really trying to accomplish? How do you have this cogent two sentence explanation of what you do? How many clicks can we get per visit? What would happen if there was a webpage that was designed to get you to leave? What were the questions that were being asked by people in authority at Yahoo in 1999? How did the stock do today? Is anything broken? What can you do today that will make the stock go up tomorrow? What are risks worth taking? What are we doing that might not work but that supports our mission? What was the last thing you did that didn't work, and what did we learn from it? What have we done to so delight our core customers that they're telling other people? How has your international circle informed your life of questions? What do I believe that other people don't believe? What do I see that other people don't see? What do I take for granted that other people don't take for granted? What would blank do? What would Bob do? What would Jill do? What would Susan do? What happened to them? What system are they in that made them decide that that was the right thing to do? And then how do we change the system? How given the state of the world, do you manage to continue to care as much as you do? Do you walk to school or take your lunch? If you all can only care if things are going well, then what does that mean about caring? Should I have spent the last 50 years curled up in a ball? How do we go to the foundation and create community action?…

Recorded in September this year prior to the launch of the new album and tour, J gives us an insider’s look at what’s in store for fans.

Three friends return to their makeshift studio to sit down for (possibly) the last time, to marvel in the latest album to leave PSBHQ: 'The Last Flight'. Expect a monsoon of artefacts, a different kind of drink for every section, and a bunch of candid conversation made simply for the fun of it. We also go on a field trip to London, to speak with Stephen Bridgewater of the Aerospace NOTAM Podcast, about some pioneering women of aviation.

On this special bonus episode, the boys take their mics on the road for a long-anticipated return to being part of the PSB live-scene! We meet a couple of #Informers at the Sir Ralph Abercromby pub in Manchester, AND get some decent music pumping out of the juke-box, before donning our aviator goggles and diving headfirst into the crowd at the Albert Hall. It's a bumper-bonus ep featuring some new voices, and is one of our all-time favourites.…

A mini episode for a massive race.Prepare yourself for de Elfstedentocht.

Marking 10 years since this release, these tracks might just find their way onto the setlist for the upcoming tour. With a new take on “beer” for the podcast, these three idiots create a disgusting new cocktail using a traditional Frisian spirit and a smelly artefact that’s been acquired through illicit means. Also on the agenda is; global warming, ice skates at mosh pits, and a pact to attend the next Elfstedentocht! Public Service Podcasting is presented by Crayg Ward, Nathan Stewart and James Brown.

As we wait with bated breath for 'The Last Flight' to touch down, the PSP gang examine and deconstruct a playlist of Crayg's curation. We delve into the artists and samples behind this eclectic bag of remixes, which often take us far beyond their much loved PSB originals. You can listen to said playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/38CtfzXttFZH9fjZZ1r2dv?si=2246b3d22b924132 Expect the unexpected, along with a special collection of beers and a healthy dose of disagreement.

Time for another informal yet informative royal-review from Messers Salmon, Wellgull and Hat. In today's programme, 'The Boys From The Pod' fire up their microphones and listening apparatus to inspect 'This New Noise'. James makes his case for Public Service Broadcasting (the role of the BBC in today's ever changing media landscape.... not the band), Nathan struggles to accept the album and Crayg hears it for the first time! Three wildly different perspectives make for an engaging listen. Were you present in the Albert Hall in 2022? Did you buy the album in 2023? Should they have toured it??

Emerging out of der sumpf and dancing their way around the straße of Berlin; 'Wardy', 'The Duke' and 'Uncle Nathan' shine a light on the concepts of PSB's fourth album, Bright Magic - released in September 2021 on PIAS. We'll be honest... this episode nearly breaks the trio into a three parts (much like the album) as James has to cut Crayg's mic when things go too far and Nathan tries to leave the podcast (twice!) - It might be the strong German beers, the abstract art, or maybe James' bulbs are just a bit too bright...

We've got a bumper bonus episode, chatting to a chorus (almost) of exceptional Welsh vocalists; Lisa Jên Brown & Chris Evans (from the Beaufort Male Choir). Join us as we welcome the guest vocalists from Public Service Broadcasting's third studio album, Every Valley. Both of our guests share their own stories and experiences of working with the band and it's clear how their personal connections to the historic industry of Wales has influenced their musicality. We begin by speaking to Lisa Jên. Of course, we discuss the emotional highlight of the album, You + Me (her duet with J Willgoose Esq.), but we also enjoy some chat about dogs, 90s raves, wild swimming, gong baths and her band, 9Bach. We start chatting to Chris Evans around the 37 minute mark, exploring the history of Male Voice Choirs, rugby, what it was like to go on the road with PSB and the power that music has for improving wellbeing and community.
