Here's Tony, Ron and Jim talking about their book, Critical Steps, their reasons behind writing it and what they hope readers will take away from it. Enjoy!

If I seem perplexed on this one, then...... I am! Tried hard to cover up how confused I am at times but don't think I managed it. So glad to have Dave on the podcast. I'm fascinated by the Cynefin Framework and I loved this chat about complexity science, particularly Dave's talent for story telling. Hope you enjoy.

It's our last chat with Crystal in the Q4 co-host segment! Noooooo! It's been amazing to have Crystal with us these last few months, as well as our episode on diversity.

So great to have Rob as a guest on the podcast this week. Founder of Human Dymensions, Rob is an expert in social psychology, and together with James, discusses the sensitive yet topical concept around whether or not 'safety' is in fact a profession at all, plus its understanding of semiotics, psychology and behavioural science.

So glad to have Prakash on the podcast this week with a totally unscripted, emergent conversation all about AI in safety, humanising it and fixing its biases. Thank you Prakash for an awesome chat.

Something different this week - a chat with Colin from The Interesting Health and Safety Podcast where we reflect on the conversations we've had at Project Mollitiam over the last month, and our thoughts on 'that IOSH article'.

Was great to chat with Anna Keen; she is such an influence in the safety space. We had many a technical issue but got through it in the end!
