  • Episode 3: From Combat to Parliament: Tom Tugendhat on AI, Fraud, and Ageless Wisdom

    Join me with The Rt Hon Tom Tugendhat MBE VR for the next episode of Nothing but a Number, a podcast where I look at age and ageing with a range of guests from politics, public life and beyond, to debunk ageist attitudes. At fifty, Tom is not typical of the age profile of my guests, but as the title suggests, age is nothing but a number and so I welcome his wisdom in this discussion.

    Tom has been Minister of State for Security under two Prime Ministers and was a Conservative Party leadership contender after the resignation of Boris Johnson. Before his parliamentary career, Tom saw active combat with the Royal Marines and served in the Ministry of Defence.

    In this latest episode, we discuss Artificial Intelligence and fraud, technology and intergenerational partnership and much more. Tune in to hear what advice Tom would give to his younger self and what's on his bucket list - and do let me know what's on yours!

  • Episode 2: Age, Wisdom, and Problem-Solving with Baroness Prashar

    I am delighted to release the second episode of my podcast, “Nothing but a Number” – available on all streaming platforms including Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and many more!

    In this episode I am joined by Baroness Prashar, a distinguished leader who has certainly earned the title “problem solver” in a career spanning multiple sectors and continents. Hear her motivational insights into the parole board, civil service reform and removing organisational discrimination.
    Usha emphasises the need to learn from experience and through conversations across generations. As we grow older and wiser, we discuss how experience is just as important as fresh perspectives. Tune in for a fresh perspective on why age is indeed, nothing but a number!
    If you haven’t had the chance, do go back and listen to the debut episode with Lord John Bird, founder of the Big Issue.
