My next guest is responsible for Irish versions of hit TV shows such as Dragons Den, Popstars, the Apprentice and Dancing with the Stars.  Shinawil was set up in 1999 just before reality TV took off with shows such as Big Brother. But with linear TV viewing numbers on the wane and young people watching clips rather than full length TV shows, what does the future hold for scripted TV productions? 

All to chat about with Larry Bass the founder and chief executive of Shinawil. 

Well before the arrival of working from home Regus was the go-to place for small startup companies seeking somewhere in city centres to rent while or if they grew their business.   The company that owns Regus as well as HQ, Spaces and Signature office brands posted its highest ever group revenue last week of $2.2bn.  But how healthy is the long term model given the rise of working from home and AI wiping out many white collar jobs in future? 

Mark Dixon, is the founder and boss of International Workplace Group formerly known as Regus joined Joe this morning on the show.

Irish based pharma companies exported a whopping €13.7bn worth of goods in the month of May alone. .  The pharma sector is not yet paying 15% tariffs on all exports to the US but that looks like it will be the max once the famous section 232 investigation is sorted. But what will these tariffs mean in the long run for those American pharma giants such as Ely Lily and Pfizer who have been here for years but are under pressure to shift production back to the States?  

All to discuss with Oliver O'Connor, is the chief executive of the Irish Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association. 

Wednesday's business news review with Joe Lynam.

Once the powerhouse or engine of Europe.  Now Germany is not in a good place economically.  GDP shrank again in the second quarter and all the certainties which drove the German economy appear to be dissolving:  China is no longer snapping up luxury German exports and the Americans are slapping tariffs on German cars and steel.  So what can the newly elected Friederich Merz do as chancellor to turn things around?  

Joe discusses this and more with Michael Harbisch from Cantor Fitzgerald in Frankfurt.

A new report from Insider AI suggests that more than half of workers in the US violate their company policies when it comes to AI usage and a third of workers say they would quit if their employer banned AI.

Mondello Park has been around for 57 years and is the only dedicated motor racing circuit in the Republic.  It’s where a young Ayrton Senna learned his trade and where the late Eddie Jordan started his racing team too.  It hit the financial buffers in the mid 80s but is now back in business and quite popular for corporate days out and for racing bikes as well as normal and supercars. 

Leo Nulty from Mondello Park chatted to Leo about the business of the circuit.

Lenny McLoughlin from Irish Life Investments Managers goes through Monday's business new headlines

The Human Capital Initiative is designed to tweak the supply of qualifications in universities to meet the actual and ever-changing needs of industry and commerce.  Needless to say AI, engineering and sustainability are the in-demand courses.  But what about those who don't have the time to do a degree but need recognised courses to prepare them for their new roles or new jobs? All to discuss with Dr Kieran McNally is Senior Executive Officer with the Higher Education Authority.
