In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Crap. It's almost always crap and this is absolutely no different! Of course we're talking about the inauguration and the goings on since as well as feelings about both sides of the aisle. Then it's onto sports radio, Felger & Mazz specifically and how draining it's become before two great voicemails from one of my three listeners! Next it's Three Gripes: drug commercials, Jay Feely and Bob Uecker dying. #TellYourFriends #TellYourMoms

Episode #178 - Sports, Sports, Voicemails & Three Gripes 1:24:12

há 3 dias1:24:12

1:24:12

Bad news. I'm back this week. Good news. I'm talking sports...though that could be taken as bad news. However, I do start with the now standard five minutes of political talk so if you don't like it, move on, but not without pounding some sand first. Talking about Tom Brady's watch, the 4 Nations Face Off, the Bruins, the Celtics, interior line play, actual football and more. I also have three voicemails from three entirely different people so that was fun. Call and complain - 617-804-1557. Then it's Three Gripes: people who talk to you when you're wearing ear buds, people who wear ear buds all day and subway cars. It's a pile of crap, but you should listen and then tell your friends!…

I bet you're only here for the penises part, aren't you? Well buckle up, buttercup. This week I'm talking about the Super Bowl but after recording realized I left out two key points that I wanted to make, how tired I am today, penises, straws and another voicemail from our #1 complainer, Mike. Join in on the fun, 617-804-1557! Then it's Three Gripes: pubes on the toilet seat at work, unfortunate advertising and Kanye. It's another subpar edition of this crap for all 3 of my listeners! #TellYourFriends #TellYourMoms #WorldsWorstPodcast…

1:14:22

Well this more like it, right? The standard sack of crap. This week I'm starting out with the massive Black Sabbath announcement followed by the Bruins, the Jacobs's and West Ham before spending only 10 minutes on politics. Seriously. Only 10 minutes. Then I have two great voicemails from our #1 complainer, Mike...and you can call in at 617-804-1557...before a new segment on a food and the return of an old segment: Movie Trailer Reviews! Wrap it up with Three Gripes: Youths, Ken Jennings and this damn Smarch weather! It's all mostly terrible, but you should listen just the same. #TellYourFriends #TellYourMoms…

há 4 weeks1:04:03

1:04:03

So much crap, so little time. If you don't care for whiny political talk, skip the first 20 minutes. If you're an adult, stick around. Talking about the last week in politics, Chefs vs Birds, voicemail calling me fat, and the Manning Bros. Then it's Three Gripes: Being sick in public, charging cords & AI. Another pile of garbage for you to enjoy. #TellYourFriends #TellYourMoms #WorldsWorstPodcast…

Back again with more crap that I now little about! Getting into the weeds a bit about the wildfires in California before moving on topics that do not really matter. A short take on West Ham, a long take on the Patriots, two dynamite listener voicemails (join the "fun" at 617-804-1557) and the Manning Brothers. Then it's Three Gripes: toenails, TikTok & obits/eulogies. It's all here, it's all boring and it's all for you! #TellYourFriends #WorldsWorstPodcast…

há 9 weeks57:16

This week I'm talking about Jimmy Carter, the 2024 Year in Review, the Patriots, West Ham, President Musk and a bit more. Then I’ve got a couple of outstanding voicemails from Heather, our #1 complainer! Then it’s Three Gripes: Urinals, horse riding and resolutions. It’s another great episode that literally no one will listen to! Happy New Year! #WorldsWorstPodcast #TellYourFriends…

It's a special Thursday episode of the progrum and I stay entirely on brand by talking about stuff that I really know nothing about! Start with yet another school shooting, then it's on to all of this drone nonsense, trains on the moon and the Chiefs are frauds. I have THREE voicemails to share this week and they're all great so you should leave your own at 617-804-1557. Then it's on to Three Gripes: Applause on a plane, "Please forgive typos" and Amazon drivers. Yeah, it's Thursday, but it's still the #worldsworstpodcast. #TellYourFriends…

This week we're talking about a lot of the same garbage that you'll find on better podcasts. Murder, revenge, motives and more, women's collegiate volleyball, political theater and West Ham actually won today! Then it's on to Three Gripes: Charlie Brown, organ donation & porn. As always, it's your choice to listen and most of your choose not to, but we're still cool. #TellYourFriends #WorldsWorstPodcast…

Episode #168 - Grief, Conspiracy Theories, Cars & Three Gripes 1:01:01

há 14 weeks1:01:01

1:01:01

It's jam packed show! That's right! Jam packed! Can you believe it?! Neither can I, but that's for you to find out. This week I'm talking a bit about grief and how it changes over time and also conspiracy theories and maybe why people believe them. Yeah, like sort of real topics which is likely a turnoff to my usual audience of 3 but don't despair because I also have an actual voicemail from friend of the show, Mike talking about his piece of shit car! Thanks, Mike! Then it's on to Three Gripes: NFL Refs, adult autograph seekers and Boston based or themed content creators. It's 12 pounds of crap shoved into a tiny sandwich bag so check it out! #TellYourFriends #WorldsWorstPodcast…

Episode #167 - Coaching, Boxing & Three Gripes 44:56

há 15 weeks44:56

Full disclosure....this episode stinks. Ill-prepared with little to talk about is a bad combo. I break last week's rule and talk politics, but quickly shift to the Patriots lousy coaching, masculinity, some whiny complaining about that Tyson v Paul farce and boxing in general. Then it's Three Gripes: puking in a stadium bathroom, McDonald's sauces & food accounts on Instagram. #TellYourFriends…

1:17:31

After missing a week, I'm back with a vengeance...or just more of the usual, whiny nonsense! I talk about the election because I felt the need to be angry & annoyed for 20 minutes. Moving on to Minneapolis! And Prince! I also dig up an old voicemail! Then it's Four Gripes this week as opposed to the standard three! You get an extra gripe for FREE! Layoff posts on LinkedIn, moms who say "I used to be really hot", people who ruin flying and Logan Airport. The whole episode is just dreadful! #TellYourFriends…

It's literally nothing that you've ever wanted all bundled up in nice, neat annoying little package! This week I'm rambling on about the sports weekend, THE MEDIA!, social media, BOS Nation is a dumb name, onions and D-List celebs. This week's Three Gripes: TV Dramas, The DunKings and Smokers. Now please tell your friends about the worst podcast you've ever listened to and how they need to suffer right along with you!…

Back again with more nonsense and it's still not very good. Talking about the Patriots being awful, the Jets being awful, New Hampshire politics and an update on the Honda Fit Kliq. Then it's on to Three Gripes: Hospital hospitality, school bus rail crossings and mustaches. It's all there and it's all crap! Good news though, the voicemail line is back at 617-804-1557. Call in and make my show listenable. #TellYourFriends #TellYourMoms #WorldsWorstPodcast…
