Cam & Ray's Cold War Podcast

PhD student Benjamin Walker and Business Psychology professor Chris Jackson conducted three experiments using more than 600 people from the general population. They found that people with psychopathic traits can make great entrepreneurs because they are not afraid to fail or make bold and risky decisions. My concern, though, is that although psychopaths might make great entrepreneurs, once they get wealth and power as a result of their entrepreneurial activities, they can end up doing more damage to society than good. But what do we do about it? How do we protect society from psychopaths?   Below is Benjamin's recent three-minute pitch about the subject of his PhD.

Today I welcome back to the show Brad Heitmann (aka Brad The Mormon). This time we're talking about Iran. FOR TWO HOURS. Fer realz.Ermahgerd. Brad travelled to Iran in 2009 around the time of their Presidential elections and the riots. He spent a couple of hours at a dinner listening to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. We discuss the history of Iran, their current nuclear program and America's history of invading countries to get at their natural resources.

My guest today is Brad Heitmann. Brad lives in Utah, has a background in investment banking and start-up strategy and loves history. Today, however, he joins me to talk about his religion - The Church Of Latter Day Saints aka Mormons. To all those people asking me for years "when are you going to a show about Mormons" - you can now shut the hell up. Brad and I discuss the life of the founder of the Mormon religion, Joseph Smith - I especially wanted to focus on his trial for being a conman (he was found guilty), his polygamy and the reasons behind his eventual murder. We also discuss the methods by which we search for Truth. I'd like to thank Brad for having the balls to come on the show. He was a good sport and I hope he takes me up on my offer to come back soon.

Wendy Bacon is a contributing editor to NewMatilda and has reported for Crikey,  the Sydney Morning Herald and The Conversation in recent times. She is an investigative journalist with a background in social activism who worked at the University of Technology for 21 years. Although no longer teaching at UTS, Wendy is still a Professor of Journalism at the Australian Centre for Independent Journalism. In 2011 she published a report on the bias in Australian newspapers over their coverage of climate change. The results of this report BLEW MY MIND. I chatted with Wendy yesterday about the report and the state of journalism in Australia. You can find Wendy's website here and her Twitter account here.

Today I'm chatting with Jenna Price, one of the key people behind the "DESTROY THE JOINT" movement to stop sexism and misogyny in Australia. Jenna talks about the success of their campaign to get advertisers to pull their funding from the Alan Jones Show on 2GB.   Links: Destroy The Joint on Facebook Destroy The Joint on the Web Jenna Price on Twitter.

Australia is one of only a few countries in the world that has the facilities to design and manufacture a car from digging the raw materials out of the ground to dealer domestic sale. And in the 1970s Australia's auto industry was ranked 10th place in the World but today? We are in 28th place. Take this one example - The Ford Falcon, which has been manufactured since 1960 and is currently on life support. Sales last year were 74% less than its best year ever, which was in 2003. Ford, which has about 3000 employees in Australia, has received an estimated $1 billion in government subsidies since 2000 in an effort to prop up an industry in decline. The Labor government has committed $5.4 billion for car making from 2008 to 2020. Meanwhile - the number of small businesses that went bankrupt last double increased by 48% - and none of them received government handouts. Why? My guess is because there aren't any votes in it. To explain why the government is spending billions of our dollars to prop up foreign-owned companies, I'm very pleased to be joined today on Skype, by Nicholas Gruen, all the way from San Francisco, who is a prominent Australian economist, the CEO of Lateral Economics, the Chairman of Peach Financial, the Australian Centre for Social Innovation and Online Opinion, the founding chairman of the Aussie start-up Kaggle, and a board member of Innovation Australia. You can follow Nicholas on Twitter and check out his new start-up HealthKit.   Music: Dyme Def "Get Down" (mp3) from "Space Music" (Soul Gorilla Monopoly (SGM)) Buy at iTunes Music Store More On This Album
