HR is no longer just about managing people—it’s about shaping the future of work. Jens Baier, BCG’s HR transformation expert, discusses how AI and shifting employee expectations are forcing companies to rethink talent strategies. From re-recruiting to upskilling employees, HR must adapt to a rapidly changing landscape.

Sam and Dan discuss chapters 18 - 35 of Mark Lawrence's The Book That Wouldn't Burn: the first instalment of The Library Trilogy.
SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers of the first half of this book. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening.
Now that our main characters have met, we discuss what we've learned and what their futures (or pasts... depending on where you're starting from) might hold. We try to figure out the motivations of some of our supporting characters, including Master Yute and his cryptic instructions to Livira. Maland, despite his complete absence from the story, presents a lot of mystery for us to theorise about. And, as usual, we throw around loads of theories about where this story is heading.

Sam and Dan discuss chapter 10 - 19 of S.A. Chakraborty's City of Brass, book one of the Daevabad Trilogy. SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. We still can't really figure out where this story is heading. We're not sure who our main antagonist is supposed to be. And in some cases, we don't know if we're supposed to particularly like our main characters. In spite of all of that, we talk through the issues and make some guesses on where the City of Brass is going to end up.

Sam and Dan discuss chapter 1 - 9 of S.A. Chakraborty's City of Brass, book one of the Daevabad Trilogy. SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. We discuss our first impressions of our two protagonists, Nahri and Ali, as well as what we think of the magical Djinn world that exists behind a veil within the recognisable 18th century real world. We try to figure out who our antagonist is and what direction this story is heading and, as alway, we try to make some predictions, which are largely just stabs in the dark!

Sam and Dan discuss chapter 38 - the end of Hannah Kaner's Sunbringer, book two of the Fallen Gods Trilogy. SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. We ask whether the chapter structure that this book enables the story and characters to be developed most effectively. We reflect on what we loved about the story, the world and where we are heading into the final book in the trilogy. And finally, we make our conclusions on what we thought of Sunbringer overall.

Sam and Dan discuss chapter 17 - 37 of Hannah Kaner's Sunbringer, book two of the Fallen Gods Trilogy. SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. As our main characters go about their largely separate storylines, we ponder how Hannah Kaner might bring them all back together, or not, for the climax of Sunbringer. We discuss what we have enjoyed about the building of the political world as well as getting to spend more time interacting with the various gods that have a part to play. As usual, we present theories for where Kissen, Inara, Skeddy and Elo will end up. Join in the conversation by following us on social media @EscapistsAnonymousPod.…

Sam and Dan discuss chapter 1 - 16 of Hannah Kaner's Sunbringer, book two of the Fallen Gods Trilogy. SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. In our first return to a world we have visited before on the podcast, we catch up with Kissen, Elo, Inara and Skedi. We explore the difference and challenges that the 2nd or middle book in a trilogy presents. We discuss the introduction of a new perspective, King Aaron, and we debate whether there is a good man somewhere inside him. And we put forward our (usually crackpot) theories for where this epic story is heading. Join in the conversation by following us on social media @EscapistsAnonymousPod.…

Sam and Dan discuss chapter 42 - the end of Carissa Broadbent's The Serpent and the Wings of Night. SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. We reach the mighty climax of Oraya's journey through Carissa Broadbent's world of sexy vampires, and so we come to some conclusions on what we thought of the story overall. We discuss how we felt about the Kejari as a plot mechanism. We discuss the twists and turns of the final chapters that took us by surprise. And we address the longest passage of eroticism that either of us has ever read. As usual, we ask our end-of-book key questions, and then we announce our next read.

Sam and Dan discuss chapter 26 - 41 of Carissa Broadbent's The Serpent and the Wings of Night. SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. Things got really hot and steamy in this section of the book, and we delve uncomfortably deep into the lusty and the romantic elements of Oraya and Raihn's relationship. As war breaks out, we analyse how Vincent is 'performing' as Vincent the King and Vincent the father. We try to guess who 'Nessanine' might be, as a character from Raihn's past. And, as usual, we make all kinds of predictions and guesses ahead of reading the final quarter of the story. Join in the conversation by following us on social media @EscapistsAnonymousPod.…

Sam and Dan discuss chapter 13 - 25 of Carissa Broadbent's The Serpent and the Wings of Night. SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. We dive yet further into this sexy vampire-romantasy. We get into some of Oraya's daddy issues. We theorise about what makes her special, and why she is sooo delicious to all the vampires. We assess the main love interest, Raihn, and debate whether we think we're headed in a more lusty or romantic direction... maybe it's both! And as usual, we have lots of predictions to share about where we're going to end up. Join in the conversation by following us on social media @EscapistsAnonymousPod.…

Sam and Dan discuss the prologue to chapter 12 of Carissa Broadbent's The Serpent and the Wings of Night. SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. We've got a brand new book to deep-dive into. It's supposed to be one of the hottest books of the year, featuring sexy vampires and a Hunger Games-style life-or-death contest. We discuss our first impressions of the world and how it compares to other famous vampire stories we know and love, the main characters and, as usual, make our predictions about where this bloody story is heading.

Now that we're over half-way through the book, we discuss how much better we've got to now Shiori. We assess the suspicious actions of the highly unlikeable Zirina. There's a murder mystery afoot, and Shiori or her blossoming romantic interest, Takkan, could be the next target. And, as usual, we lay out our theories for where this fairy tale fantasy story is heading. Join in the conversation by following us on social media @EscapistsAnonymousPod.…

SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers whole of this book. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. We give our assessments of the climax and where this first instalment left our our two time-travelling love-birds. We grade our previous attempts at predictions, and we explore some of the questions left to be answered in the next instalment of this trilogy. As you might imagine, we can't help but make some predictions and guesses at where this story is heading. Finally, we decide whether this is a world we would like to live in ourselves, and draw conclusions on whether we would recommend this book to others, before we reveal what our next read on the Escapists Anonymous podcast will be.

Sam and Dan discuss chapters 35 - 52 of Mark Lawrence's The Book That Wouldn't Burn: the first instalment of The Library Trilogy. SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers of the three-quarters of this book. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. We get stuck straight into the major plot twist that we've just had revealed to us. We try to unravel the mysteries of Master Yute and Head Librarian Yamaha. We explore the rather sinister mentions of Jaspeth throughout the book so far. And, as we approach the climax, we theorise about what the final chapters have in store for Livira, Evar and the great library.
